About Skippy on Fir3
Skippy on Fir3 is the embodiment of raw passion and artistic evolution—an artist whose music doesn't just play, it ignites. Born and raised in the heart of Banjul, the Gambia, Skippy channels the struggles, triumphs, and everyday poetry of their environment into a sound that's as real as it is revolutionary.
Blending gritty, streetwise lyricism with soul-stirring melodic flows, their music speaks to the heart of a generation navigating pain, perseverance, and the pursuit of purpose. Inspired by artists like Salif Keita, Youssou N'Dour, Mavado, Lagbaja, and Manzu, Skippy on Fir3 creates a unique sound that resonates across cultural boundaries.
Skippy on Fir3 blurs the lines between vulnerability and strength, between the grind and the glory. Every verse feels lived-in, every hook a heartbeat. Their breakout single "RYSE" lit up local charts and social platforms, quickly earning them a loyal fanbase drawn to both the fire of their delivery and the depth of their message.
Whether commanding a stage with electrifying energy or crafting lyrics that hit with emotional precision, Skippy on Fir3 isn't just making music—they're building a movement. And with each performance, each release, they're proving that their flame is only getting stronger.
