Sky Tonia Ferreira (born July 8, 1992) is an American singer,
songwriter, model, and actress. As a teenager, Ferreira began
uploading videos on Myspace of herself singing songs she had written,
which led to her discovery by producers Bloodshy & Avant and an
eventual recording contract with Parlophone in 2009. She released her
first extended play, As If!, in 2011, which combined elements of
electropop and dance music. Ferreira's second extended play Ghost
(2012), however, incorporated pop with more stripped-down song
structures and featured collaborations with Jon Brion and Shirley
Manson, as well as the critically acclaimed track "Everything Is
Embarrassing", which she composed with Dev Hynes.After multiple delays
and disputes with her record label, Ferreira's debut studio album
Night Time, My Time was released on October 29, 2013, and marked a
departure from her former style, incorporating more experimental indie
rock with synth-pop elements. The album was preceded by its lead
single "You're Not the One". That year, she ventured into the film
industry after appearing in Eli Roth's The Green Inferno and garnered
media attention after being arrested for drug possession. She was
exposed to a mainstream audience after having been announced as an
opening act for the international Bangerz Tour, headlined by Miley
Cyrus, which began on February 14, 2014.Ferreira's earlier work
incorporated elements of dance-pop, while her recent projects
experiment with acoustic, new wave and primarily indie rock musical
styles. Her lyrical content originally incorporated themes of
rebellion and teenage romance, and has since evolved to discuss
personal insecurities and more mature romantic themes. Outside her
work in the entertainment industry, she has modeled for several brands
and magazines, including serving as the spokeswoman for the hair care
brand Redken in 2014.
