Skeelo was born in Chicago's (south side) IL, and moved to New York City in the late 70's. He was influenced by artist such as: ( KRS-1, L.L. Cool J, Rakim, and Kurtis Blo); admiring their styles & technique.
Skee-Lo moved to Los Angeles CA, in the mid 8o's. His "I Wish" single, with a video that parodied Forrest Gump, became a huge hit on radio and MTV during the summer of 1995, and his identically titled debut album was released shortly thereafter earning him; 2 Grammy nominations for both album & single.
Today, after being several years (M.I.A.); Skeelo resurfaces with a new exciting album titled; "Overdose." This project is more like Skeelo (Moch-3)! A mature sound from an evolved artist, an allstar cast of producers & special features, topled with the unique style of Skeelo's song-writing. The album is said not to be the return of Skeelo, but rather the start of "Skeelo Musik" the Record label; with more artist/groups of all genres to follow. The album is scheduled for release October 13, 2009.
