About:

Vara Sky is Amy Swart. She demonstrated a talent for music at an early age, learning how to play several instruments at a private elementary school on a full scholarship in Rochester, New York. She continued with vocal and piano lessons throughout her teenage years until she moved to Colorado at age 19. After going to her first rave as a teenager, Amy became obsessed with “how they were making those sounds,” and began organizing underground parties with her friends, DJing with a laptop and a mixer.

In 2010 she moved to Los Angeles, California and was classically trained in composition at the Herb Alpert Music Academy on a performance-based scholarship. To her, music is an energetic language we connect with one another through and all of her compositions are written with the intention of connection.

Her influences are rooted in industrial music and she cites Trent Reznor as one of her biggest inspirations.

She wrote music for the 2017 documentary film ‘Parque Central’, directed by Ricky Gaona. Her debut EP ‘Transmission’ was released by Vudeux Records in December 2018 on Beatport. Her latest release with thismachineinme ‘Between Two Worlds’ is available now on her own independent record label, Corporatocrazy.
