The Texas-raised musician Elliott Skinner is a thoughtful creator with an ethereal approach to folk and soul music. His compositions are a beautiful example of what comes from the lineage of powerful and intentional Black expression. His sound is both intimate and layered, marked by a deep focus on storytelling and the continuing of the Black Radical Tradition. Skinner spent a decade in New York City learning what community, practice, and art mean to him. Through a dedication to creating music that is an influential force for people to understand other people, Skinner aims for a freeing of the mind, digging into everything that love sits under, and a breakdown of the constructs that divide us.
Skinner has garnered recognition and worked alongside acclaimed artists including Chance the Rapper, Eryn Allen Kane, Leon Bridges, Samora Pinderhughes, Nai Palm (Hiatus Kaiyote), Amos Lee, Jon Batiste, Pusha T, and more. Look for more from Elliott Skinner in the coming months including news of his debut solo album, due in 2026
