about Second Sky
Second Sky is Billy Medina, William Lascek-Speakman and Wes DiIorio. The band was formed by Billy, Liam, Wes, and Michael Christie from the remnants of the Arabic ensemble "Medina." Second Sky was created to explore the musicians' interests in other forms of music including house, dancehall, trip hop and bossa nova. As a live act, Second Sky has performed across the east coast with bands such as The New Deal, Moonraker, Particle and Dub Trio. Second Sky's music has also been featured by L'Oreal's "Garnier Fructis" in promoting its website.
Recently, the band has released several singles and EPs on labels including Bellarine Recordings, Escada Music, and Swordtail Records. Their collaboration with Sancho & E-Lation called "Tell Me You're Alright" was included on the compilation "Chilled: The Best Lounge and Chill" on Cloud 9 Dance.
As at home creating moody instrumentals as they are at pop structured vocal tracks (with a twist of course), Second Sky's music is as versitile as it is eclectic. Kevin Krieger, Weekender Correspondent, says: "An electronic jam that deftly combines acid jazz and trip-hop and marries them to a funky backbeat for a totally modern sound." Carla Di Fonzo, Intelligencer Journal, says: "Second Sky laces together space-age electronica and global-village funk. The result is archaic-futurism that you can dance to." Second Sky's music has received plenty of internet-radio airplay recently, featured on broadcasts including Willy Sanjuan's "House Kingdom", DJ Clairvo's "Downtempohead", Beatfreaks Radio, and Opencoud's "Open-Up".
Currently, Several collaborations are also in the works, with such artists as Sleepy Wonder, Harry Payuta, Sancho & E-Lation, Native and Upstairs Recordings' Solus.
Just a few of the artists with whom Second Sky has been involved on remix projects: See-I, Alex Ocampo, 4Mal, Nikola Gala, Eduardo Perez, Native, Brisker & Magitman, Neon Logic and Sancho & E-Lation.
