Band Bio: South Africa's guitar bombshell, Sky Vega is a spunky pop-rock singer/songwriter. With cd credits under her belt in Europe, she is fresh in New York, performing her edgy originals with The Sky Band on the local indy scene. Recently, Sky released the video for her single "Special" which is in rotation on AIR 104.4 FM, an affiliate of the BBC & other EU radio stations. 'Special' is available on itunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, etc. Her charismatic stage demeanor and melodic hooks coupled with her ability to write meaningful lyrics make it easy to understand why this singer/songwriter has international appeal.

This self-proclaimed 'computer geek' is equally comfortable programming, engineering, producing,composing, playing drums, writing lyrics or fronting her band, THE SKY BAND.
