Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi My Name is SkaDanko XOXO
The name is self explanatory lol.
So i make music on a level thats purely driven by love, sex, and attitude.
Playing electric guitar to me is a significant part of my life.
Always had taken a love for instruments in this particular moment for the past 3 years have been electric guitar.
My brand is Animated love style of music which has psychedelic forms of guitar patterns. Sometimes it gat a transcendental sound i find myself getting lost in my music of which im playing. So i love to mess around with certain strings that sound heavy and unique. Almost like having sex in a sense. Its like making love, i never play when im angry or mad because i feel like im not being myself when im playing. I feel like playing when im sad or mostly find myself getting in the mood or playing just having fun. My brand XOXO is a new wave of Instrumental sounds that come from the heart. Im currently in the midst of working on an album for myself and my advid listeners to gradually grasp the feelings of being tormented by love or deep depressing feelings of being alone. So whoever is listening to my art can have something to relate to.
This is my life right now im giving you the real me besides watching anime which i love to do and wat hing Hentai.
I sort of get inspired from the sounds of love making action packed melodies.
Also feel like reaching in the very depths of your soul to let a dragon out of your cage and flying high to ascend to be with the gods. So i feel like thats what guitar playing is to me a way to escape life and be one with myself. To reach out to new anime fans and people who cosplay that are just trying to fit in this world.
Love cannot be sold ,but with my art and passion for music i feel like its been brought. You can bottle it, you can fram it, you can literally taste what im giving you as in a sense of listening. So giving the world a more thrilled way of listening to music and help the world become a better planet with love. Thats my brand. Thats my way of life. Ive been getting all sorts of love and radio connections in lodon. Shout out to anybody who is from the U.K
Recently discovering that im related to Mr. Lenny Kravitz through Diahann Carroll its cool asfck. Special hello to Zoe Kravitz my cousin.
Through my Father side im related to Roberta Flack i never personally knew them but i know where my talent comes from. I praise them with God. A fearful person i am of God. So my days are spent indulging in simple life pleasures to keep myself above water. So i do not drown in todays society that only responds to how you look, or are portrayed to the world, or by what car you drive, or how much money you have. I do not respond to that. I respond to love. XOXO

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
My early memory of feeling powerful is when i had my first gig playing an open mic. As i got on stage in front of the mic i was so eager and ready to play my original piece of music ive been working on not recorded yet. So its all in my head ready to be recorded now. The feeling was like a mystic veil from the shroud of torah being draped of my shoulders and cloacked in an essence of love and power. Like i felt unrealistic. I mean everybody was doing covers and a few people had original stuff. So im giving the crowd something they have never heard before. As i looked into the midst of the cheerfjl bunch of peers and glorified people who had all come to this n particular spot to play and instrument. People were actually smiling and enjoying qhat i was playing. So i decided to keep my noise level down because im used to playing heavy and sort of ragey. So played a piece thats still in a cycle of being not to hardcore. The venue had a noise level lol. So i was thinking i cannot play here all the time. Nonetheless enjoyed my craft. So in a sense it made me feel very powerful to be like chameleon and stand out but blend in. The audience’s applaud was so breathtaking and a sense of heaviness on my heart lifted in to the sky where all the Gods are watching. Right there in that moment i said to myself i can do this this is for me. Standingnon stage with a guitar and love on my mind.
So i have to Thank my early influences through Rock and Roll
Late 70s to Early 2000s
• Led Zeppelin
• The Pillows
• Jimi Hendrix
• Motely Crue
• Nirvana
• Blink 182
Many More Bands and Music Artist.

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Hey Wussup little big King. I know things are not going the way you want. You are very loved and do not hate anyone for making you feel alone. It is okay to feel comfortable in your room. Turn on some music and cry. Keep your head high and never look down.
Remember its okay to always be silly.
I love you. XOXO
