Toronto’s underground music scene is abuzz with the unveiling of Aidan Skira’s latest musical masterpiece, “Happy Meals.” At a youthful 20-year-old, Skira is more than an artist; he’s a visionary reshaping conventional norms and pushing artistic boundaries within the community. This acts as the follow-up to his previous single “I Tried”.
From the confines of his basement studio, Skira leads a musical revolution, single-handedly curating his sound, crafting graphics, and producing visuals that resonate deeply with his ever-growing audience. His authenticity shines through as he passionately connects with a generation often characterised by fleeting attention spans, offering a guiding light through the chaos of a rapidly changing world.
Written and produced by Skira, single-handedly, “Happy Meals” hits out at the people who didn’t support him before but are now proud of him, and how that 180 flip can sometimes be confusing, but rather than focusing on those people, Skira turns the power into himself, creating an addictive flow full of empowerment, showcasing that he’s serious about his career, regardless, and there’s nothing they can do about it. Beyond powerful, it’s something we all need to learn; and, if it really is something we want to do, it doesn’t matter what anyone else says or thinks.
Reflecting on this artistic journey, Skira shares, “It’s not always easy to put yourself out there in the way that I do. It’s a really vulnerable position, but when you have a vision for yourself or a calling, you’ve gotta go for it head first sometimes.”
“Happy Meals” encapsulates this sentiment in more ways than one. It’s a testament to Skira’s unwavering dedication and a bold declaration of his commitment to his craft. On top of that, his vulnerability inspires many of his listeners and this track alone is bound to make an impact amongst his fanbase and beyond.
Amidst the excitement surrounding this release, Skira is gearing up for an extraordinary headlining show in the new year, aligning with the official launch of his exclusive merchandise line. The dawn of 2024 promises a flurry of milestones and surprises for this prodigious artist.
Hailing from Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, Aidan Skira‘s artistic odyssey finds its roots in a deep-seated desire to express his unique perspective on life. Raised in a sheltered suburban environment, Skira’s musical journey is a manifestation of his confrontation with the complexities of adulthood, articulated through self-produced music and animations.
“Happy Meals”, by Aidan Skira, is available to download and stream, right now, across all platforms, via Wax Records. It looks like Skira is set for an exciting and eventful 2024.
