![]() Skylar: I have been a huge supporter of animal rights since I was very young. What made you decide to get involved with them? PC: You are involved with several different organizations (PETA 2, Music in Our Schools). It so was fun because I have always been a big fan of their work! Unfortunately, I didn’t get to work directly with Justin and Julia on it but I did have the pleasure of meeting them a few weeks later. Thankfully, they said yes and chose my version. I thought it was perfect and asked if I could go in the next day to try it out. I absolutely loved it! It was one of those rare moments when I honestly didn’t want to change a thing about the song. So I got up and listened to it and immediately got tears in my eyes. They told him that the theme song to the movie still needed a strong vocal on it and that I had a shot. Then one night when I was sleeping, my mom woke me to tell me some awesome news from my manager. Skylar: Yes, I heard about Everything Everything and was anxious to see the movie after hearing my friends talk about the story line. PC: Did you work closely with Justin Tranter and Julia Michaels on “How Did We”? How did that project come about? Were you familiar with the book, Everything Everything, or did you prep for the song by reading the book at all? Skylar: It was a great experience! It’s always fun to see other artists perform. PC: What is it like going on tour and performing alongside people/groups like Fifth Harmony and Miley Cyrus? Skylar: My biggest musical influences are Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, and Alicia Keys! PC: Who is your biggest musical influence? I just hoped that others would like it as much as I did. Skylar: It feels amazing! I had a special feeling about “Only Want You” from the minute it was finished. PC: Your newest single “Only Want You” was #1 on the Billboard dance chart. On occasion, finished songs will be sent to me that I instantly fall in love with-although this doesn’t happen very often because I do prefer to be involved. We throw ideas at one another, and after about 12 hours a new song is usually born. I also enjoy getting into a room with a producer and another writer and starting from scratch. Now, I still start a few songs on my piano and build from there. I wrote everything myself back then because I was young and was trying to get experience and figure out my sound and style. At that time, I always started my songs on my piano-coming up with the chord progression, melodies and then the lyrics. Skylar: I started writing music when I was nine. PC: When you come up with new music, how much of it do you write? What is your creative process like? We were excited to chat with her and learn a it more about her creative process and why she loves performing. Another reason? She’s already involved in many organizations, like Radio Disney’s Music in Our Schools program, which shows how passionate she is about the world around her. Her big voice and infectious songs are just a few reasons you’ll love her. ![]() She’s released eight singles-one of which hit #1 on Billboard’s Dance Chart-and spent the summer touring the country. ![]() As the youngest artist to sign to Cherrytree Records (she’s only 15!), Skylar has already been busy.
