A real raver knows the underground is where it’s at. a.k.a. skips originally made his name with his high-energy, multi-genre project Ducky, where his focus was on building a safe and inclusive community within the larger structure of EDM. After taking some time away from the spotlight to begin his transition as a transgender man at the end of 2021, this born + raised Bay Area head is ready to return to his roots. Proudly queer, directed by love, and radiating trans joy, a.k.a. skips is a project for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider. Welcome home - let’s rave.
