In The Mix Interview w/ Skylar Grey | DJBooth.net ::
“….a rose by any other name may still smell as sweet, but a switched-up moniker can have surprisingly profound effects on the course of a career. Case in point: the singer-songwriter formerly-known as Holly Brook–or, as she’s now known, Skylar Grey.

In an exclusive, five-question interview, Skylar Grey steps into the Booth to discuss her experience performing at this month’s Lollapalooza festival, whether her solo sound will surprise those who know her through her guest work with urban heavyweights, and the surprising inspiration behind her LP title…..”

Milo Decruz Talks Grey and Tour Synth | Dave Instruments ::
“….I’ve been using DSI’s Mopho in my bass set up for Skylar Grey’s upcoming Tour and I’m truly impressed with how solid, punchy and programmable it is.

Skylar’s upcoming record is so harmonically deep in the synth arrangements, I was able to dial in sounds that represented the record and that’s so important to me.

The sequencer is great and some stock presets sequences have already made it into the live show. The Mopho is the best of Analog…Musical and limitless….as a analog based synth should be!….”

Eminem Gets Grey and Rihanna | The Daily Mirror ::
“….CAN’T wait for Eminem’s set at the V Festival. And neither, it seems, can his two leading ladies.

Festival organisers are at loggerheads as to whether Rihanna, 23, should go on stage to duet with Em, 38, first or Skylar Grey, 25.

Skylar will be sticking around in Blighty on Monday for her gig at XOYO in Shoreditch but she’s ready for a knees-up after V.

My insider says: “Both would love to do the finale. Whoever finishes first can get stuck into free drinks. Either way, it will be worth waiting for.”….”
