Skull: changing faces
|  | | Mariah and Skull | Just by taking a glance at Skull, you would never think that he is a serious, focused, and in-tune Reggae artist. Born and raised in Korea, Skull has broken yet another barrier in the music world and is coming to a hood near you to prove his worth in the game. But can he survive the frequent shallow waters of the young consumer and reach the depths of their souls? Stamped by Mariah Carey's brother, Morgan Carey, Skull's modesty and spiritualism may be able to keep him afloat in this "waiting" pool of one hit wonders and veterans all trying to find their spot in line for next up.
Skull talks about being a Korean Reggae artist, and how his Asian counterparts perceive his emergence out of a typically proud and reserved culture, and his public embrace of the Rastafarian way of life. He reveals his experience thus far with America and sheds light on what keeps him level-headed and rational through these beginning stages of what some believe is stardom. How did you start working with Mariah Carey's brother, Morgan Carey?
Morgan was in Korea for a wedding and met YG who is the boss of my label. YG wanted him to work with another artist on the label that is very famous in Asia, but he said he would like to work with me, that he saw something special in me. I was very surprised and grateful. What type of deal have you secured with him?
I have a deal with YG in Korea. Morgan is partners with YG for my music outside of Korea in English. He guides and manages my career in the States. Is Mariah co-signing you as well?
No. We are just friends; she was very nice to me when we first met. She treated me very kindly, made me laugh and feel so comfortable. That's huge to be recognized by them. What are your plans together?
I think we will be in this movie together that her brother Morgan is co-producing, and maybe work on some music together. (excerpt from AllHipHop)
