Sky Spooner
Sunburn Records
When considering the Helsinki death-metal circuit, violence, controversy, and short-lived fame all come to mind. Few stars from this tragic cultural phenomenon have had the talent and staying power of producer/musician Sky Spooner. From producing such number one acts as Kid Gang Five (KG5) and Margo Lane to writing and performing with such world class music festivals as Blue Beard and Dikko and the Ginza, Spooner has always proven his abilities as a top talent despite cultural obstacles. Classically trained in Zurich at the Arthur Hand Conservatory from the tender age of 10, it was always his dream to bring his knowledge of music to America and apply his skills to electronic.
So, at sixteen, Spooner left home and traveled to Finland to start his musical quest. He fell in with a shady crowd and became infatuated with speed and death metal. Writing the catchy top ten hits "Satan Loves A Whore" and "Americas Favorite Beach Songs," Spooner soon became a Helsinki mainstay and wooed the audience with his funky lyrics and rotating hips. As his popularity grew, so did his desire to arrive in America and take the San Francisco electronica scene by storm.
