Elliott Skinner

Elliott Skinner is a thoughtful creator with an ethereal approach to folk and soul music. His compositions are a beautiful example of what comes from the lineage of powerful and intentional Black expression. 2025 saw the singer, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist announce his global signing to Ninja Tune with the release of singles, “RECALLING” & “I Linger On.” Skinner is now back with How Far We’ve Come, his debut EP out September 18th featuring the just-released single "Don't Be A Runner"

Having worked alongside acclaimed artists including Chaka Khan, Jon Batiste, Zayne Malik, Chance the Rapper, Saya Gray, Eryn Allen Kane, Leon Bridges, Samora Pinderhughes, Amos Lee, Sam Smith, Jeremih, and more, Elliott Skinner is now stepping out on his own. His sound is both intimate and layered, marked by a deep focus on storytelling and the continuing of the Black Radical Music Tradition. Skinner spent a decade in New York City learning what community, practice, and art mean to him. Through a dedication to creating music that is an influential force for people to understand other people, Skinner aims for a freeing of the mind, digging into everything that love sits under, and a breakdown of the constructs that divide us.
