Skylar Dayne

Skylar Dayne came up in the early 2010s with a sound that mixed indie rock, folk, and some electronic touches. Their song 'Halo' got them noticed, and it became a hit that reached a wide audience. The band was built around Skylar Dayne herself on vocals and guitar, with Ethan Hale on lead guitar, Oliver Reed on bass, and Dylan Carter on drums.

They put out an album called 'Halo' in 2012, which included that title track and another single called 'Whispers.' A few years later, in 2015, they followed it with 'Echoes,' which took a more experimental turn. Their setlist also covered songs like 'Rolling In The Deep,' 'Back To December,' and 'California Gurls,' showing a range that went beyond their own material.

There were some rough patches along the way. Skylar Dayne dealt with mental health struggles that led to canceled shows and downtime. The band also faced plagiarism accusations from critics who thought their work sounded too much like other artists'. They managed three albums before things quieted down.
