«Music is a mega outlet for me. It's a way for me to give people joy and tell them: ‘Hey, you're not alone with your thoughts and feelings». This is what the up-and-coming Basel dialect musician Skip reveals in an exciting conversation about his artistic journey. From his beginnings at the youth centre in Riehen to a sold-out show at the Kaserne Basel - and back to the youth centre again: Skip gave an atmospheric pop-up concert in Liestal at the invitation of the Baloise Session. He also gave an interview to the Backline Blog, in which Skip reveals deep insights into his musical evolution and his personal career. He talks about his roots in hip-hop, inspired by artists such as 50 Cent, and how he developed into his current melodic dialect music. Particularly fascinating is Skip's perspective on the role of music as a bridge between city and country, a topic he looks at from different angles as an artist and teacher. 

Skip talks openly about his most personal songs, such as ‘Heimweh’, and shares his vision for a possible future for society. His connection to the grassroots, which he has never lost despite his growing success, is evident. In conversation with journalist Zeno van Essel, he also announces his current crowdfunding project for a new album and that he is planning a release party as a thank you to his supporters. It's worth immersing yourself in the world of an artist who is enriching the Swiss music landscape with his unique blend of dialect, rap and pop.
