Ryan Skyy is a New York City-based producer of dance-pop and House music, and a Billboard-reporting DJ for the Dance Club Songs chart.[5] He also is a remixer, singer, songwriter, and is a founder of record label Keystone Music Group. His music has been described as balancing "mainstream with a unique kitsch of [...] House music along the same vein as Fred Falke and Cedric Gervais".[6]

He is best known for his debut single "DONE" which peaked at #41 on Billboard's "Dance Club Songs" chart.[7] and was named the dance track of the summer by OUT Magazine.[8] Skyy is also known for the remixes he produces for major artists and labels including Taylor Swift and The Weeknd. Billboard recognized Skyy's remix of Adele's Hello as having helped the "monster smash[...]conquer clubs" and reach the No. 1 spot on the Dance Club Songs Chart.[9]

Skyy was the subject of an extended interview in the Huffington Post in March 2015.[10] as well as CBS's "Mancave daily" in April 2015.[11]

In November 2015, Skyy teamed up with Taryn Manning to release a remix of Lady Gaga's Grammy-nominated Til It Happens to You.[12]

Skyy's music has been featured on MTV.com and LOGO TV,[13] and has played in several national retail outlets including Planet Fitness, Gold's Gym, NYSC, and 24 Hour Fitness[14]
