Sky's music is enjoyed by people of all ages, and all walks of life. Her primary goal of having her music in MAJOR FILM productions has begun to be realized. Indie filmmaker, Don Albert, chose Sky's music because "it works well in film ... it's beautiful; works well under dialogue; adds to interviews; is not distracting and it's soothing." Sky's music being in films can help reach and aid the people and places where she cannot be in person. One of Sky's venues which aligns with her visions for the world is THE PEACE ALLIANCE - U.S. Dept of Peace http://www.thepeacealliance.org
Connection, Peace, Change through Music - Sky's music deeply connects with all her audiences
