July 10th, 2020 — Jovi Skyler, an emerging Sydney singer/songwriter. Energetic, explosive and melodic alternative/punk rock permeated with an early ‘90s spirit of escapism. Skyler has dedicated many years to his craft as a songwriter since picking up the guitar.

Having studied at the Conservatorium of Music for a spell before dropping out, he proceeded to live abroad in Europe for over two years gigging under various monikers as a staunch soloist playing only original songs unplugged in cafes, bars and other venues. It was during this time that Jovi’s consistent exposure to entertainment hubs fermented his creative fervour and desire to focus a light on the dynamics of heady distractions.

We Went to the Zoo comes off the back of Jovi Skyler debut self-titled EP released in mid April of this year; a distorted jaunt of twisted post-grunge structures and incisive takes on the surrounding world. The EP’s lead single Gia made the Triple J Unearthed’s punk charts and ultimately charted at no.2 on the 19th of April 2020. Gia also received support throughout Australia’s Community Radio Network and on some international radio stations in Japan, Germany, Canada, the UK and USA.

With a follow-up EP planned for later this year, Jovi Skyler has ignited his plans for further writing and recording with the perennial wayfarer heading abroad to gig and record new songs. Armed with a full tank of socio-cultural observations, Jovi and his guitar are primed to go, guaranteed to get you grooving with it’s wild and rebellious swagger.
