With a voice that carries the weight of real-life experiences and a passion for storytelling, singer songwriter Skye Newman has captivated and disrupted the UK music industry. Hot on the heels of her chart-climbing debut ‘Hairdresser’, Skye then deepened her artistic imprint with the release of ‘Family Matters’, a stirring track that took over airways and social media alike. ‘Family Matters’ peaked at no.5 in the OCC, making Skye the first UK/British female act in over a decade to chart both her debut singles together in the 20. Following this was the stunning Out Out that added further layers to her musicianship.

Skye is a raw and unapologetically authentic voice emerging from the UK music scene. Having moved countless times throughout her life, she considers Southeast London her true home - having shaped her artistry through its diverse cultures, working-class resilience, and the real-life struggles she witnessed firsthand. Growing up in low-income households, and moving often, Skye references being surrounded by people who came from nothing, and channels these experiences into her music, offering a voice to those often overlooked in mainstream narratives.

Inspired by the storytelling of rap and the emotional depth of soul, Skye's musical journey began with her aunt, a jazz and blues singer, who introduced her to the magic of songwriting and studio life. Later influences like Amy Winehouse, Adele, Bob Marley, and Eminem further shaped her sound - working closely with her musical friends, Skye found her sound, blending poetic lyricism, raw emotion, and a fearless approach to honesty in her music.

Onstage, her rise is just as resonant. Following a sold-out show at Bermondsey social club in February, trumped by two sold-out headline shows at London’s Courtyard Theatre, Skye joined Sienna Spiro’s European tour, playing to packed venues across cities including Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam. Earlier this summer she performed to hundreds of fans on BBC Introducing’s stage at Radio 1 Big Weekend in Liverpool, further cementing her reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting new voices, before coming out with Ed Sheeran at his Ipswich homecoming show, supporting Lewis Capaldi on his UK arena tour and most recently playing packed headline shows at London’s Koko and Manchester’s O2 Ritz that both sold out in a matter of minutes.

Backed by a fiercely loyal support system of family and lifelong friends, Skye’s artistry is deeply personal, yet universally relatable. Whether she's pouring her heart into her lyrics, vibing with her girl gang, or finding freedom in creative outlets like ice skating, she brings an energy that is both electric and deeply introspective. Skye Newman isn’t just making music - she’s creating a movement.
