Sky Canyon is a composer, producer and artist/performer with roots that span jazz, rock, classical, latin, new age, Afro-Caribbean and more. He has been playing professionally since junior high school and was a student of jazz vibraphone master, Terry Gibbs, in Los Angeles.
Sky co-led an all-original rock band in the 70s, and has performed in jazz combos and big bands since his early years. He was also principal percussionist in several symphony orchestras and co-founded an Afro-Cuban drum and dance group in the 90s, teaching and performing in Colorado.
As a multi- instrumentalist, Sky produced notable albums in the classic new age arena (Rising Sun Records/Watercourse Media) in the 80s/90s; several achieved international acclaim. Switching gears, Sky was the original President and Publisher at noted book publisher New World Library, where he built the company from startup to international distribution with self-help bestsellers.
“Diving deep into music at an early age is something I treasure every day. Whether it’s jazz, rock, pop, folk, hip-hop, ethnic, classical – you name it, there is always music to feed your soul.”
