Skewby Who!?

SKEWBY WHO?
~Tatiana R..

In the big world of music the ability to multi-task is essential. But taking it up a notch and adding more creativity and drive makes one stand out to claim the title of an “Ultra-Tasker.” Cameron a.K.a “Skewby” exemplifies just that. Rapping and producing is what he lives, eats, sleeps and breathes. He also claims graphic design as “just” a hobby (so fallback about getting him to design your mix tape cover.) But what is his method to madness? Where did the Memphis native find his creative juices?

TAKE A Look

When did you start making words rhyme to a melodic beat while creating a story to express your feelings?

S: Rapping came about when I moved to Memphis in third grade, that’s when I was really affected by it. In Memphis, Three Six Mafia was huge, No Limit. Seeing the culture and the impact it had on people made me want to rap.

How did producing come about?

S: I didn’t have any beats to rap on, so I just started making beats. I never really wanted to be a producer but you know it happened and it’s a blessing

How did graphic designing come about?

S: It’s the same thing. It’s about not waiting on somebody else to do something for you. I wouldn’t even use doing graphics as a title I just do it for myself.

What are you presently working on?

S: My main project Prom Kings & Drama Queens, right now I’m just making beats for it and going through beats and seeing which ones I want. I just wrapped up production with DJ 007 for a mixtape called Dedication of Tennessee, with artist P.A.T, another one for Rap Hustlaz DJ Flip and I’m working on another pre mixtape like the PROMO with all new material that’s coming out with DJ 007 it’s going to be Certified Gangsta.

What drives you?

S: Good music, I’m tired of people wanting to turn off their radios. I’m trying to save the day. Good music inspires me to do better.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

S: I see myself definitely as a multi-platinum artist. But I also see myself owning something real weird, like other rappers have clothing lines I’m going to own a shampoo or napkin line. I’m going make something everybody needs like spoons.

Who are some people you would like to work with
S: Mark Ronson, Jill Scott, anybody who loves music genuinely.
