Skilf is a Brighton based rapper/mc/singer, with intricate lyrics, sharp delivery and an ever growing fan base. His distinctive UK rap sound has been crafted through six solid years of writing, rhyming and performingp

Skilf’s journey has been somewhat unusual for a hip hop artist: at the age of seven he started acting in an amateur dramatics group and was involved in many plays and musicals. He starred in a co-lead role in a film called Jim’s Gift (1996) and went on to study performing arts at college - this is where his love for the stage originated. He discovered his skill for writing lyrics at the age of sixteen, during the UK garage era. Since then Skilf has performed at a number of events supporting and appearing on the same line up’s as; Ghostface Killah (of Wu Tang Clan), Tim Westwood, Kidz In The Hall, Taio Cruz, Sway, Task Force, Jehst, Skinnyman, Pendulum, Grooverider, Andy C, MC Dynamite Skream, Benga and many more.

Over time Skilf’s style changed dramatically, the influence of Bob Dylan, Eminem, Sage Francis, Wu Tang Clan and Immortal Technique had a huge impact on- his lyrical content; in 2004 Skilf started writing and recording, building up an archive of different material with the aim of one day releasing it. Unfazed by the restrictions of ‘genre’ he has tussled with everything from hip hop to drum n bass, to grime, dubstep, garage, trip hop and house proving himself as an extremely versatile UK rap artist.
