History

Skynd live at Rock am Ring 2022

Skynd is known for her diverse vocal styles, ranging from high pitch to low pitch and often with an inhuman element. Notably, Jonathan Davis of Korn is a fan and joined Skynd in her song "Gary Heidnik". Davis appeared in the music video as well.

Skynd's first headliner performance was at Electrowerkz in 2019 where she dressed in a motley combination of corpse paint and Victorian-styled clothing. Fans were greeted with cups of Kool-Aid as a reference to her song about the Jonestown massacre. Shortly after, Skynd was shortlisted as a Heavy Music Awards 2020 Finalist.

Skynd has been interviewed by The Boo Crew on Episode 90 of the Bloody Disgusting podcast, as well as by Ebony Story of Wall of Sound.
