Good morning everyone and welcome to another Music Monday. Today I’m featuring the lovely Skywalkerxx and his song Lost.
Skywalkerxx aka Daniel ‘Uzi’ Walker is a skateboarder from the San Francisco Bay Area. When he’s not making music or designing fantastic clothes for his clothing brand Anti-Hope he is a skateboarder for Braille skateboards. He does also stream games on twitch which is always fun to watch, especially when messing around with his friends in games like GTA. His regular viewers are trying to persuade him to do a music stream soon.
Dan was nice enough to answer some interview questions for me about his music which you can find below.
You can follow Dan on twitch or social media by clicking the links below.
Lost & Other Music:
Most of Skywalker’s new music can only be found on SoundCloud though his older music is available on other streaming platforms which you can listen to by clicking on the links below. There also isn’t a video for Lost yet, I believe he is looking at creating music videos in the future, but I have attached my two favourite songs from YouTube below.
Interview:
What first got you into music?
I’ve always been into music like my whole life.
Who inspired you to make music?
I’ve always listened to a ton of music so kinda just everything I listened to made me wanna, mostly like rock bands cuz a few years ago this kind of melodical trap stuff didn’t exist.
How would you describe the music that you typically create?
I think I make like alternative pop metal trap or something I have no idea tbh cuz I have a weird voice that sounds poppy but then I try to make dark stuff so it comes out just kinda wild mix.
What is your creative process like?
Creative process pretty much just wait till I’m feeling like I have good energy to make something and then listen to beats and wait for something that catches my ear.
Who would you most like to collaborate with?
I’ve already encountered some scammers so I’m more hesitant to do feats now but anyone who I think their style would work with mine I’d work with.
If you could go open a show for any artist who would it be?
Probably like bring me the horizon or some other rock band tbh or someone like Brennan savage or something would be sick.
What is one message you would give to your fans?
They’re the best seriously!

Which famous musicians do you admire?
So many too many to name lol
What is the most trouble you’ve ever gotten into?
Haven’t gotten in that much Trouble, just like running from the cops and security and stuff skating.
