Victor Skyes

Musician in Berlin

Nigerian-German singer/songwriter Victor Skyes, started out singing in the church choir at the age of 11. His father had encouraged him to play the piano at the age of 8 and hired a piano teacher who would later quit. At age 13, he taught himself to play piano and began writing songs.

His music garnered substantial attention while attending Caritas University, where he obtained a Bachelor's degree and was appointed the University's music director until 2011. He draws most of his inspiration from gospel music and directed several choirs before deciding to focus on his career as a solo artist.

Victor has often been commended for his songwriting and has written songs for other artists. Following his relocation to Berlin, he released his self-produced EP "Keep The Light On" in September 2017. The definitive record incorporates elements of pop, soul, gospel and house music with the lead singles "Hey Baby" and "Borderline".

His debut album is set for release in 2025. The album would mark his return to music after a five year break.
