\nElefant Traks announces the signing of Sydney\u2019s Sky\u2019high, arguably the most surprising act to join the label\u2019s roster yet. One of the most compelling artists to emerge from the local hip hop scene, Sky\u2019high\u2019s raw aggression seemingly puts her at odds with many of the Elefant Traks family, but her sheer talent and songwriting skills are undeniable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Growing up in the housing commissions of Maroubra and Ultimo, surrounded by a lifestyle of drugs, alcohol and violence, Sky\u2019s inner strength guided her through an upbringing completely foreign to most Australian kids. In many ways though, she embodies the spirit of hip hop and staunchly represents her area in a way true to her. She has a natural authenticity; an unpredictability that is kept in check by her fierce loyalty.<\/p>\n

Apart from Elefant Traks, another co-sign tells a story about Sky\u2019high\u2019s talent. The highly acclaimed and respected NZ producer P-Money is handling the album\u2019s production.<\/p>\n

Voted Best Female MC in the 2011 Ozhiphop Awards, Sky\u2019high cites Bobbi Sykes, Betty Davis and The Last Kinection as influences, but there\u2019s little doubt that there is no-one on the planet that sounds quite like her.<\/p>\n

Sky\u2019high\u2019s debut album is due May 2012.<\/p>\n
