History
Skynd is known for her diverse vocal styles, ranging from high pitch to low pitch and often with an inhuman element. Notably, Jonathan Davis of Korn is a fan and joined Skynd in her song "Gary Heidnik". Davis appeared in the music video as well.[3]
Skynd's first headliner performance was at Electrowerkz in 2019 where she dressed in a motley combination of corpse paint and Victorian-styled clothing. Fans were greeted with cups of Kool-Aid as a reference to her song about the Jonestown massacre.[4] Shortly after, Skynd was shortlisted as a Heavy Music Awards 2020 Finalist.[5]
Skynd has been interviewed by The Boo Crew on Episode 90 of the Bloody Disgusting podcast,[6] as well as by Ebony Story of Wall of Sound.[7]
