Cash & Skye, the Los Angeles based duo comprised of Henri Cash and Sophia Skye, have been casually writing and recording songs together for almost 7 years. Although “Just A Stranger” may be her first full-length album, Sophia Skye is no stranger to the music scene. A self-proclaimed “C-list nepo-baby,” Sophia spent her childhood on a tour bus alongside her father, Pierre de Reeder, the bassist for the seminal indie-rock band Rilo Kiley. Growing up surrounded by many music legends of the early 2000’s indie scene, including Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and She & Him, it didn’t take Sophia long to find her own passion for songwriting. She found her preferred style of singing in the records of artists such as Patsy Cline and Linda Ronstadt, women who were not afraid to belt their hearts out. Her love of classic country led Sophia to meeting the eccentric, trouble-making, and exceptionally talented Henri Cash.
So yes, Sophia and Henri Cash met in high school. The same school where Henri met singer Arrow de Wilde and formed what would become the beloved LA rock band Starcrawler, which took Henri on a busy touring schedule that spanned the globe, opening for such acts as Foo Fighters, Jack White, Beck, X, The Distillers, and many more. Cash has also been sought out as a guest guitarist on many recordings, very notably on Dolly Parton’s version of Tom Petty’s “Southern Accents”, as well as live performances with Peter Case, Alejandro Escovedo, Peter Buck, and Lenny Kaye.
