History

Skuller was born in New York, and started writing songs and performing in school talent shows in Weehawken, New Jersey at eight years old.[1] He credits watching his father play in New York City as an early inspiration for making a career in music.[2] As an eight grader, he participated in a three-night Simon & Garfunkel tribute show in New York City, as well as in the Hoboken Arts and Music Festival, where co-founder of Bar/None Records Glenn Morrow saw him performing and signed him. He released "Love Is a Drum" with Bar/None on 7-inch vinyl and digital download on April 20, 2010.[3] It features Nada Surf drummer Ira Elliot and production by Daniel Rey.[4] Skuller also made a cameo that year in a Supercute! music video.[5] [6] In 2012, he appeared in the Disney Channel's musical talent competition The Next BIG Thing with mentors Cher Lloyd, Ross Lynch and Laura Marano, where he was billed as a "modern rock and pop singer and songwriter."[7] Skuller went on a fifteen-city tour with Radio Disney. [8]

In 2014, Skuller signed with Mint 400 Records and released the single "Tell Me Your Heart," described as an "early '60s-inspired tune"[9][2] That year, he was also awarded the Holly Prize at the Songwriter's Hall of Fame.[8] Skuller appears on several Mint 400 Records compilations, including 2015's In a Mellow Tone, and 2016's Guitar Rebel: A Tribute to Link Wray, which contains a "rumbly version" of "Slinky."[10]

In late 2016, Skuller was joined by drummer Gabriel Scholis-Fernandez and bassist Luigi Sardi to form the Skullers. They play a modern blend of rock with blues based grooves.[11] Their debut EP Meet the Skullers was self-released on October 6, 2017.[12][13][8] The EP was produced by Joel Hamilton.[13] The Skullers performed at the North Jersey Indie Rock Festival on September 23, 2017.[14]

In 2018, the Skullers released a cover of Richard Hell's version of "I'm Your Man" for the charity Career Gear, and performed at the Hoboken Holiday Banding Concert.[15][16]
