Billboard Magazine recognized Skyy's remix of Adele's "Hello" as having helped the "monster smash ... conquer clubs" and reach the No. 1 spot on the Dance Club Songs Chart.[7] Skyy is also a Billboard-reporting DJ for the Dance Club Songs chart[5] as well as a remixer for major artists and labels including Ariana Grande, Janet Jackson and Lady Gaga.[8]
On March 15, 2018 Shangela released the single "Pay Me (feat. Ryan Skyy)", which Skyy co-wrote and produced. Within 24 hours the single reached #9 on the iTunes US Top 40 Dance chart and was charting in 15 other countries, including Australia where it entered the chart at #16.

From 2015 to 2017, Skyy produced music for fashion designer Marco Marco's New York Fashion Week[12] and Los Angeles Fashion Week[13] runway shows, which altogether have received over four million views.[14][15] The success of Skyy's fashion week scores inspired him to release one of the songs, "It Do Take Nerve", as his follow-up single to "DONE".[16] The music video for "It Do Take Nerve" broke 100,000 views on YouTube,[17] marking the second time in a row Skyy accomplished this feat.
