#FMSpotlight: Introducing SK8

Wait, Who’s SK8?!

Nate Maloley, also known as SK8 first entered the spotlight in 2014. At first, he was known for music and his friendship with the music group Jack & Jack, who even made a song together in 2016. Flash forward to 2020, the Omaha artist is now part of the iconic group Taylor Gang, where he joined in 2019! It’s time to get a glimpse of SK8’s timeline in the music industry.

SK8 Before Entering Taylor Gang

In 2014, SK8 released his first single on all platforms, “Signs” with Sammy Wilk! A year later, he released the song “Little Bit”. These first two singles by the singer were performed at small venues with other artists (Yes! I was at one of those!). But the crowd grew, just like his music! 2016, he shared 2 new album with fans, “Skaterade” and “Late 2 The Party”! These were Sk8’s last albums before being signed to Taylor Gang!

New Steps In Taylor Gang 

December 2018, Sk8 was signed to Taylor Gang with open arms! Singles on singles were released by the new signee in 2019, keeping fans on their toes! He made things that much more exciting with his collaboration with Wiz Khalifa in the song “Onme”! The two Taylor Gang artists made two more singles “Favelas” and “Role Models”  Needless to say, their collaborations are fire!

Knowing who SK8 was before he signed to Taylor Gang, it’s exciting to see how far he has come! Although, his musical journey does not end here. Artists grow with their fans through music and experience. We are excited to hear more from SK8!
