Abby Skye
Abby Skye is a singer, composer and producer from Wide Bay, Queensland. She was ‘discovered’ at 5 years old, when she was pulled from class and asked to sing for a PTA Christmas function and in the Senior Choir. From that moment on, music became her passion and her escape. She taught herself to play guitar, wrote her first song at 14 and has since clocked up thousands of performances along the East Coast of Australia, supporting the likes of Rick Price, Daryl Braithwaite, Renee Geyer, James Reyne, Mental as Anything as well as performing as such esteemed events as the Sydney Lord Mayor NYE Ball, Victorian College of the Arts Alumni and for the President of Hungary.
As a girl, Abby studied classical singing, flute and music theory, performed with the Australian Girls Choir for 5 years and was a regular member and conductor of the school orchestra and choir, before attending the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School to finish Year 12.
Abby is one of the trio who also created the Next Level Music Program in Bundaberg.
