Bio

Skyler was born and raised in Perth, Western Australia where he was actively engaged in competitive sporting until the age of 17. Having had a few experiences with performing throughout high school, he was faced with deciding between representing WA at a national sporting level, or participating in the year 12 production, he chose the latter.

He is now undertaking studies in Psychology and Neuroscience, with the aim of helping mental health in the arts sector.
