SHADED “I like that fine line between precision and raw emotion. That place in space that is new and fresh, yet finely tuned for your listening pleasure. When those two elements come together and click, magic happens in the music, and thats what I strive for.” 2012 proved to be a big year for Skyler Taugher, as it produced the fork in the road that resulted in the creation of his new solo moniker, SHADED. With his previous success with partner Shoddy Lynn as the duo SHDWPLAY, Skyler’s decision to go solo ultimately came from his desire for more creative and individual freedom.
