She is known for having made a cover of Drake's song Headlines, receiving over two million views on YouTube.[7] In 2012, Skye released her very first mixtape, Skye High.

Her debut album Ultraviolet was released on January 18, 2018. The album featured the singles "U Don't Know" (featuring Wizkid), "Back for More" (featuring Jeremih), and "Don't Think About It". The music video for "Don't Think About It" was released on the same day as the pre-order, December 8, and the song "Good Love" became available with the album pre-order.[9]

In June 2021, her third studio album, Space & Time, was released. The album was executively produced by Grammy award winning producer Timbaland.[10][11]
