In 2007, Skonie gained national attention by participating in MTV's "Making the Band 4," where he showcased his vocal talent and Detroit hustle. Following this exposure, he joined the Chicago-based R&B group Kwiet Storm under Jonnetta Patton's JPat Records, performing extensively across over 120 cities.metrotimes.com
Embarking on a solo career, Skonie has released a substantial body of work, including his album "Rolling Skone," which features an uptempo house rendition of the Temptations' classic "Papa Was a Rolling Stone."
In 2022, he achieved a significant milestone with his song "All Of Us/Memphis" being featured in the Netflix film "End of the Road," starring Queen Latifah.
In 2023, Skonie's dynamic performance of the Miracles' "Ooo Baby Baby" earned him the title of Artist of the Year at the Motown Museum's "Amplify: The Sound of Detroit" competition.
He also leads "Skonie and The kLOUDs," a retro-style band with a modern twist, which won the Masterpiece Sound Studios' Cover Song Contest with their rendition of Stevie Wonder's "I Was Made To Love Her."
Beyond music, Skonie is set to portray legendary singer Jackie Wilson in the upcoming television series "Higher and Higher," a role he secured after impressing Wilson's daughter with his stage presence.
He holds a Bachelor of Science in Audio Production and continues to influence the Detroit music scene with his soulful blend of R&B, funk, and techno.
