Full Skye Sweetnam Biography
Skye Alexandra Sweetnam (born May 5, 1988) is a Canadian singer/songwriter. Skye came onto the music scene in 2003 with the release of her single "Billy S." Nearly a year later, her debut album, Noise from the Basement, was released including the singles "Tangled Up in Me" and "Number One". Sweetnam is also known for singing the theme songs to Radio Free Roscoe, The Buzz on Maggie and Wayside. In 2006, she was nominated for a Juno Award for New Artist of the Year. Her second album is to be released on the 30th of October, titled Sound Soldier.
Skye was born to Deirdre and Greg Sweetnam. She was named after the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Along with her sister, Aurora, and her brother, Cameron, Sweetnam was born and raised in the small town of Bolton, Ontario, where she studied dancing and singing from a young age. By her early teens she had moved on to songwriting, and recorded a demo with the help of a local Bolton music school. Sweetnam was also a full-time student at Mayfield Arts School in Caledon, Ontario, majoring in drama.
She worked with local producer and instrumentalist, James Robertson. Together, Robertson and Sweetnam worked on what would later become Noise from the Basement, her Capitol Records/EMI debut. The single "Billy S." appeared in July 2003 on the soundtrack to the movie How to Deal, and quickly took off in Canada and the United States. Two more singles were released from her debut and fared moderately on the charts. In 2004, Sweetnam went on tour with dodger over Europe and North America, as the opening act of Britney Spears, although her performances were cut due to Spears' knee injury. In early 2005, the album was re-released with a DVD.
In 2006, Skye acted as the singing voice for Barbie in The Barbie Diaries. In 2006, she recorded two songs Boyhunter and Sugar Guitar in simlish for the October 2006 release of The Sims 2: Pets. Sugar Guitar was also featured in a Zellers commercial for the 2007 back to school season. Tim Armstrong and Sweetnam released the single Into Action in March 2007.
On August 30, 2007, Sweetnam performed at the CD release party for dodger, her first live performance since her 2005 Sea World gig, and her first live performance with her new band. She performed brand new material including, "Boyhunter", her version of "Into Action", "Makeout Song", "Ghosts", and "Music Is My Boyfriend". All of the songs will be included on her second album, Sound Soldier, which she describes as "Nine Inch Nails meets Britney Spears". The album was originally set for a spring release, but Capitol Records pushed the album back and eventually dropped Skye altogether. However, EMI did not and the album is set to be released on October 30, 2007 in Canada only, with the leading single "Human." On September 29th, Skye became the opening act for Canadian Idol winner Kalan Porter on his 2007 tour. |
