S.K.G is an upcoming artist from the reading (UK) area - but shows his presence on the exeter music scene. He has also played some top venues in London such as 93 feet east, 12 bar, the cross kings, the enterprise, the new cross inn and proud gallery, as well as Exeter’s cavern club and Exeter's Club NME night at the HUB, and has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Scroobius Pip, Kate Nash, Peggy Sue and the pirates, Bombay Bicycle Club, Johnny Foreigner, Elle Milano, Esser, Example, Subsource, Yacht, Lightspeed Champion and Kunt and the Gang.
Having won the demo panel on BBC Berkshire's The Session he was invited to play a live recorded session which was broadcast on the 7th sep 2008 and has regularly appeared on the bill for the BBC introducing's Shout About Music night at bar four in Reading. He has also had air-play on Radio One with Huw Stephens playing 'needles and suspenders' and 'voodoo talk' and on BBC 6music.
After taking a break, S.K.G is now back from the dead
"be yourself. Let the world come to you, don't chase it. Art first, recognition later. Write songs, not singles. In this sense, s.k.g is already streets ahead of many more "successful" musicians and there's potential for much more." - www.Hydragenic.com
