Born in Tokyo and scouted at age ten into the Japanese teen pop group HappyNs, Skye Holland relocated to Victoria, Canada, at twelve and watched her music obsession deepen. Now based there, the singer-songwriter pulls from Jhene Aiko and Pink Pantheress and has built a catalog that already includes five Billboard Dance/Mix Show US National Airplay Chart entries. Her Steve Kroeger team-up ‘So Close’ peaked at No. 10 on that chart and No. 3 on Mediabase Dance; ‘Through The Dark’ gained traction via Billboard Canada and EDM.com; ‘Lie’ climbed to No. 27 on Billboard Adult Top 40 and became a Ryan Seacrest American Top 40 breakout. With 108 million streams, airplay on SiriusXM, iHeart Radio, and BBC Introducing, plus TV placements on ABC, Music Choice, YTV, Stingray Music, SPACE DiVA, and STAR Digio, plus spots on Temptation Island and The Young & The Restless, her reach is undeniable.

‘Automatic’ marks the latest single, out now via Prodigy Records, and finds Skye Holland testing a drum-and-bass groove. The song sketches the effortless pull of true unrequited love and the way it simply unfolds on its own. Upbeat percussion locks in with a massive reese bass to frame her smooth vocals, while produced by regular partner Steve Kroeger into a crisp pop-DnB piece. It lands right in the lane of Pink Pantheress, Fred Again.., and Roy Blair listeners.

Over the years she has teamed with Jaxomy, Tep No, KDrew, Castion, Thom Merlin, Crystal Rock, and BRDGS, and taken the stage with Vassy at Neighbours Nightclub in Seattle beside Mako, as well as at Kool Days of Summer in Canada courtesy of 107.3FM.

Skye Holland shared: Automatic’ is about that effortless connection with someone. When being together just feels natural, cinematic, like it was always meant to happen. It’s magnetic, it just is. Finding the spark in the chaos and moving through it together.
