Hey! I'm Skye. My pronouns are she/her.

I teach Songwriting online at The Muse Writers Center and our spring class starts Thursday 2/24! Join us! LINK: https://the-muse.org/event/songwriting-1/2022-02-24/

I think this is my 5th or 6th FAWM but I also like to do Song a Day month long challenges from time to time as well.

***For FAWM 2022: Working on a “concept album” this time. Musing solely on old crushes, unrequited loves and early relationships and encounters from younger adulthood. Hoping to release an EP of whichever one’s turn out the best.

I'm from Norfolk, Virginia, where I teach Songwriting and Ukulele at The Muse Writers Center ( We’re entirely online for the moment, come take a songwriting class with me! Our new semester starts on Thursday Feb 24th!)
www.the-muse.org

I play Ukulele, Guitar, and dabble with Glockenspiel, Keyboard, Banjo and whatever other cool instruments I happen to encounter. I have been writing songs since the age of 3. Back then, I wrote about child-centric topics like Mickey Mouse, cleaning my room and wanting to drink all of my brothers' Coca-cola. These days, I write about things like Gilmore Girls plot lines, twisted fairy tales, friend breakups and mindfulness.

As always, looking forward to making some more musical friendships here. Leave a comment on my main page if you’d like to pal-it-up!

    Wandered over this week via recommendation from Beth De Sombre. Nice to hear about your work and nice to meet you here, too.

    We’ll have to wait for the garden party. Mine’s hunkered down under old snow and today’s freezing rain.

    I know, I think there is actually a chance I can get to 14! I think fawn super works! I think it helps give us inspiration and motivation to just keep getting them out. I keep getting new ideas, it normally is never this fast!

    So happy to hear @jessicamoon pointed you to what I’m working on and I’m glad you enjoyed it. I just listened to some of your stuff and I really liked your storytelling and concept for your project!

    Thanks! It’s a space mandolin!

    Hi Skye. Thanks for your comment on "When Summer Comes Home". The "a jar / ajar" meaning wasn't super intentional, but I do always love that kind of thing happening by chance. In a way the jar image is actually also a reference to another song I wrote months ago where I talk about living inside of a jar but it's a song I haven't shown anyone (and may not ever put out into the world). Thanks for taking the time to listen!

    haha I dunno about a 20 dollar wordsmith but thank you for leaving such a nice comment. Your songs are super awesome!

  • @theawkwardsleep Feb 2022

    Oh! How have we missed your tunes the past five years? It always surprises me how that happens. Happy we stumbled upon you.

  • @paulotteson  Feb 2022

    Thanks for the kind words @skyezor - Very much looking forward to listening to your tunes this FAWM!

  • @theodamus  Feb 2022
