Mini Biography
SKY has been making music since birth; singing before he could talk, playing drums at two, violin at three, with guitar, bass, and keyboards following shortly thereafter. The son of jazz legend Dick Hamilton and Broadway and TV veteran Linda Dangcil (Chorus Line, West Side Story, Peter Pan, The Flying Nun), SKY grew up on the set and in the studio, quietly (!) learning as he watched his parents work. By the time he was six, he was a series regular on "Villa Alegre", a bilingual PBS show, and was a studio session singer, working on nearly every commercial which featured children singing as well as many albums including Frank Sinatra, Sergio Mendes, Kim Carnes, Pat Benatar, and the Annie soundtrack. SKY was also the first chair violinist for the California Meremblum Symphony. Blending his classical training and studio skills, SKY has written and produced music for films, ads, and promos since he was 17. A short client list includes FOX, Telemundo, Disney, Warner Bros., Playboy, Paramount, MTV, Sony, UPN, Roland, and E!. Most recently, SKY has been to New York and back, scoring and sound designing "Parallel Passage", a film by Mandi Riggi. Bringing together his love for raving and Disneyland, SKY arranged, produced, and performed an album of classic Disney songs remixed in various rave styles for Walt Disney Records. SKY recently DJed for Prince at Paisley Park, where he dropped his new Prince remixes like a bomb on thousands of Prince fans at Prince's Xenephobia Celebration. He has also done many other remixes including "Baila" for Lui LaFe, which hit number 2 in San Francisco, 3 in Boston, and number 1 in New York, "Steal My Sunshine" for LEN, which earned SKY his first gold record, and "Jungle Bells", which was a bootleg remix of Frank Sinatra SKY did with Koolaid as a gag that achieved noteriety as the most requested song in Groove Radio's history. SKY has also remixed Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Destiny's Child, Anastacia, Ricky Martin, Marilyn Manson, Tatyana Ali, Britney Spears, Anita Ward, and Luis Enrique. But SKY's own music has always been his passion. Well known for his live performances, SKY has headlined rave parties around the globe and is preparing the release of his debut album "13" on Local Records.
