Artist
Skai (formerly named SKAY, Ukrainian: Скай or С.к.а.й.) is a Ukrainian pop-rock band. It was formed in 2001 in Ternopil, Ukraine. SKAI was formed in 2001 when Oleh Sobchuk and Oleksandr Hryshchuk were students in the Ternopil Galician College. Yuri Rudnytsky (bass guitar) and Serhiy Nedashkovsky (drums) became the other two members of the band. Yuriy Mozil (keyboards) became a participant in 2005.[1] After the band was formed, it started to give concerts and performed at several festivals, such as Perlyny Sezonu, Tavriyski Ihry, and Chervona Ruta. They became recognized by a broader audience after their appearance on the program Fresh Blood on the Ukrainian TV channel M1. The general director Eduard Klim from Lavina Music noticed them and signed them to his label. In 2005, the name of the band was updated to be written with dots (S.K.A.I., Ukrainian: С. К. А. Й.). At the same time, the tracks that were later included in the album «It Can Kill You» («Тебе це може вбити») were released on 25 Ukrainian radio stations. Clips were shot for the song of the same name, as well as the songs «Remix» and «What is needed» («Те, що треба»). Sobchuk describes the track as a «romantic ballad.» In 2006, Lavina Music released a debut album «What You Need» («Те, що треба»). The tracks, that were later included in the album, were released on 25 Ukrainian radio stations. «It can kill you» («Тебе це може вбити») from this album became the visit card of the band and made it famous all over Ukr
