Scott talks to 5-time Grammy nominee Skylar Grey about her incredible career that branches from solo artist to one of the world’s most prominent songwriters. They start with her upbringing in Wisconsin, where she was in her first folk band with her mother at age 6. She moved to LA at 17, got her first record deal, then lost it all. After going broke and moving to Oregon to work at a gallery part-time, Skylar wrote the song “Love The Way You Lie” – later released by Eminem and Rihanna. Skylar breaks out the piano and performs the chorus, giving listeners goosebumps. Scott and Skylar discuss how this one song changed her life and allowed her to create more hits for major artists, including “Walk on Water” for Eminem and Beyoncé, “Coming Home” for Diddy-Dirty Money, and “Castle Walls” for T.I. and Christina Aguilera. Skylar also shares about how writing a song for Celine Dion was a dream-come-true. Shifting into the present, Skylar is writing new music for herself while living in Napa. The conversation wraps up with a chat on Skylar’s creative process, new tracks and projects, and goals for the future. Skyler concludes the show with an inspiring live performance of the chorus of “Coming Home.”
