Background

Skye, named after the Isle of Skye in Scotland, grew up in the small Toronto suburb of Bolton, where she studied dancing and singing from a young age. By her early teens she had moved on to songwriting, and recorded a demo with the help of a local Bolton music school. She worked with local producer and instrumentalist, James Robertson. Together, Robertson and Sweetnam worked on what would later become Noise from the Basement, her Capitol Records debut. The single "Billy S." appeared in July 2003 on the soundtrack to the Mandy Moore movie How to Deal, quickly took off in the US and Canada. In 2002 Sweetnam went on tour over Europe and North America, as the opening act of Britney Spears, although her part was cut short when she got the flu. On tour she showed off a sense of humour, saying "Anyone that falls asleep on the bus is going to get Sharpie on their face saying, 'Skye was here.'"http://www.askmen.com/women/singer_250/259_skye_sweetnam.html
