SKILAA is a meeting of two perfect elements: a powerhouse rhythm section for beats and chord progressions, and a double vocal unit with a blend made in heaven for melodies and harmonies.

Blending Psychedelic RnB and Hip-Hop with intricate, ‘balkan-style’ melismatic vocal harmony arrangements, SKILAA’s music is full of folklore imagery, pyrotechnic vocals and ornate grooves.

The initial success of their Fantasy Life EP saw them feature at festivals such as Great Sounds Great, Cupa Dupa and The Other’s Way. Their acclaimed 2024 debut LP ‘Tiger In The River’ saw them shortlisted as a finalist for the APRA Silver Scroll, nominated for Best Group at Aotearoa Music Awards, and awarded Best Group by the Student Radio Network.
