the names Skew, I've always created music of some sort since I can first remember. My true love is hip hop production and I as of recently I started rhymin' again. Im working on an album right now called "hatched" and Im using this site to test out some of my songs.
Why this name?
Skew is a geometrical term, it's used to define slightly crooked lines. A stright line is important in some geometic equations, cause if the line is a little skewed it can screw up the whole equation. Well Im that annoying crooked line thats screwing up the equation.
Do you play live?
I play live at home for now.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Its just given people more chooses. And expose some people like me that dont have a means for major exposure.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Probably not, cant say for sure, I just know that it only cost $1.24 to make 1000 copies of a CD if you sell them for $10 you'll make $8.76 per CD, and $8760 per 1000 and so on and so forth, so who really really neeeeeds a deal anymore.
Your influences?
My music taste range from Eminem to Bjork to Squarepusher. But right now Im feelin, N.E.R.D., Murs, Kanye, damn near the whole def jux record lable, eastern conference, Plug, Outkast, Madlib, J Dilla, ect.

Anything else...?
This music is for all the heads out there that are frustrated with the nonsense and shallow glamour of the big music business. This music was made not to make you shake your ass in the club or to sell 5 million copies, its music that was made to be good MUSIC. PEACE. SKEW.
