HAGGARD'S BLOG: Dairon Skye

Whenever an artist leaves for any length of time, we always expect their return to be larger than their departure and it is anticipated for the unthinkable. This was my thought perception when I came across Indie Artist Dairon Skye for yet the second time to give me the industry insight’s on his E.D.M. influenced track, “Psychedelic” – offering an insider’s view of a world that main stream music lovers knows so little of.

The track begins with a deep baritone welcoming the “newbies” to this underground fascination and prepares the listener for an indescribable occurrence. As the song progresses, the taunting “Do you wanna play” chant is not infectious but an addicting ear candy for the brain as we, the listeners are craving to be engulfed in this new found heaven that Skye has vividly painted.

On this track, we are not being seduced by Skye’s four octave range as the manipulation of auto tune is used to assist the singer in creating the message that lies between the lyrics which only a true raver can decode. “While discovering this scene for myself, I learned about the different lingo that was spoken and how inviting this scene was. I had felt as if I was on a different planet because everything just seemed so out of place to me but in some awkward way, it all made sense.”

The once R & B crooner, then turned self-proclaimed “fusion artist” now raver in training, and all within three years in the industry! Dairon Skye has morphed seamlessly with every new platform of his career, a career path that Skye has contemplated on and endures knowing that it may resulting in losing the loyal fan base that made him who he is today.

“Music is an experience in my eyes. As a musician, I feel that it is my job to tell stories to the public and to make sense of it all. “Psychedelic” is just one of those tracks that I had to do research on – I watched movies about the underground scene, I attended a multitude of raves and came across some of the most interesting people. The funny thing is that while I was preparing for the release of “S.Ex”, I was presented with this track and knew that I just had to lend my vocals to it somehow.”

In the course of the creating process, Skye guarantees that his live performance to depict this world will have elaborate costuming, intricate choreography and the same entertainer quality that would still snatch the heart of an R & B music lover. With the world now becoming accustomed to the American created, UK polished trend in music – Dairon Skye has proven that he is no longer suffocatin’, still spontaneous and now giving us the one on one of how to be psychedelic. Just like Mary, Molly and Crystal - I too wanna play!
