Second Sky is Billy Medina, William Lascek-Speakman and Wes DiIorio. The group's sound defies categorization; blending elements of soul, trip-hop, electronica, and reggae, with Arabic, Indian and Latin flavors. This fusion comes naturally to Billy, William, and Wes; who revel in the sounds of classic bollywood soundtracks, early electronic music, and blaxploitation funk. The subsequent sound reveals a sonic world of sultry beaches, thrilling car chases, exotic scenery… and women too beautiful not to be very, very dangerous.
As a live act, Second Sky has performed across the east coast with bands such as The New Deal, Moonraker, Particle and Dub Trio; and on occasion, some members can even be spotted performing with friends See-I.
As producers, Second Sky's music has been featured by such companies as L'Oreal in its "Garnier Fructis" promotions, and has released several singles and EPs (both digitally and on vinyl) on labels including Bellarine Recordings, Escada Music, Cloud 9 Music, and Swordtail Records, before recently finding a home at Rhythm and Culture Recordings, based in Washington, DC. Look for the band's first release on Rhythm and Culture: "Under the Line" later this year.
As at home creating moody instrumentals as they are at pop structured vocal tracks (with a twist of course), Second Sky's music is as versitile as it is eclectic. Kevin Krieger, Weekender Correspondent, says: "An electronic jam that deftly combines acid jazz and trip-hop and marries them to a funky backbeat for a totally modern sound." Carla Di Fonzo, Intelligencer Journal, says: "Second Sky laces together space-age electronica and global-village funk. The result is archaic-futurism that you can dance to."
Second Sky's music has received plenty of internet and satellite radio airplay recently; featured on broadcasts including Willy Sanjuan's "House Kingdom", DJ Clairvo's "Downtempohead", Beatfreaks Radio, and Opencoud's "Open-Up", as well as XM Radio's "The Move".
Currently, Several collaborations are also in the works, with such artists as Sleepy Wonder, See-I, Harry Payuta, Sancho & E-Lation, Native and Upstairs Recordings' Solus.
