Elliott Skinner is a 29-year-old Texas-raised, Brooklyn-based artist with a multi-faceted approach to folk and soul music. Skinner's multiple avenues of music-making include singing, guitar, bass, producing, and arranging. Improvisation plays a large role in Skinner’s compositions; He wishes to reflect the history, texture, and roots of Black culture in his music. 
 Skinner’s industry introduction came in 2015 with the trio Thirdstory – a group of singer-songwriters that garnered the attention of millions with their approach to harmony. In the last few years, Skinner has held residencies across New York and Brooklyn, opened for Anthony Ramos, and Kamasi Washington. He also appeared on the BET Hip Hop Awards with Chance the Rapper. Elliott has released only a handful of music as a solo artist, but plans on expanding his contemporary blend of folk, rock, soul and blues. Continuing to experiment with a variety of artists, themes, and sounds will define his new material as he takes his solo output to unexpected places.
