Life Rhythms with Ryan Skyy
idobi Network
Welcome to Life Rhythms, home for music creators to share their hearts and pull back the curtain on their music. I’m Ryan Skyy, your host. I like to cut through the bullshit and skip the typical interview questions to get straight to the core of the guest’s humanity and artistry. Each episode features one guest and their latest song/album. There’s the occasional acoustic performance, people’s perspective, and no shortage of raw, revealing moments. New episodes drop on Wednesdays. Want more? Join our Skyy Fam @ryanskyy. See you then 😄!
We All Go Out Alone | Kiesza
⁠Kiesza⁠ flashed onto the scene, and into the zeitgeist, with her 2014 debut single ⁠“Hideaway”⁠, only to lose it all just as fast, in equally dramatic fashion, when she suffered a brain injury from a horrific car crash. The accident started her on a years-long journey of recovery and self discovery, dealing with doubts of ever making it back to music. The music industry all but wrote her off as gone forever, a blessing in disguise, that liberated Kiesza with the opportunity to rebuild herself and learn some profound lessons about life, mortality, and the kind of artist she was meant to become. Today, Kiesza is all the way back with a Top 30 single on dance radio, a new album dropping, “Dancing and Crying”, and a string of successful features with Diplo, Skrillex, and Deadmau5. | Brought to you by the remixer-hiring platform ⁠⁠Mixilary.com⁠⁠.

If you’ve been to a club in the last 10 years, likely at some point in the night, the DJ played a remix or edit that was produced by ⁠Kastra⁠.

I As In ‘I Don’t Care’ | Luciana
Known as the “Queen of Electro”, Luciana pioneered the bratty/shouting punk vocal style that’s so popular in dance music.
