BIO

Hailing from Toronto and raised in the suburbs of Brampton, Skip Waiters translates his lived experience into deeply introspective, genre-blending music. Fusing the sharp lyricism of Kendrick Lamar and J.I.D, the soul and groove of Anderson .Paak, and the experimental edge of Tyler, The Creator and Pharrell, Skip has carved out a sound that feels both personal and expansive.

His 2021 debut mixtape Personal Stereo earned major playlist placements and early recognition from Live Nation, Rolling Stone, Variance Magazine, and HELLO! Canada. In the years that followed, Skip released multiple projects exploring mental health, ego, and the realities of growing up Black in Canada, building a catalogue that has now surpassed 3 million streams.

In 2023, Skip released his first commercial album, Streams of Consciousness, a therapy-inspired body of work examining identity, healing, and emotional growth within the Black Canadian experience. He followed with his 2024 sophomore album The Human Experience, further solidifying his reputation as a thoughtful storyteller unafraid to challenge cultural norms around vulnerability and self-discovery.

Throughout 2025, Skip continued to expand his sound within alternative hip-hop through collaborations and live performances. In 2026, he enters a new chapter with the release of his third LP, Mr. Piks: a cinematic project narrated through his creative alter ego. Through Mr. Piks, Skip invites listeners into an evolving world that blurs reality and reflection, offering a layered exploration of love, self-identity, and personal transformation.
