Born and raised near O'Hare airport, Skaivi's professional musical journey began at the tender age of 13, inspired by her mother, a lyricist, and the captivating sounds of Tyler Joseph from Twenty One Pilots. However, it was the audacious and incomparable Lady Gaga who ignited her passion for music, serving as her earliest muse.
Diving headfirst into music production at 17, Skaivi's journey started humbly, crafting beats on her iPhone's GarageBand before graduating to the intricate landscapes of Logic Pro on her Mac at 18. Her debut single, "Mystic," released in April 2022, marked the genesis of her musical exploration.
