Let's get into Sky, her amazing music and how angry we get when people call her a model.

Ferreira is of Portuguese, Brazilian and Native American descent. She got her start in Los Angeles. She sang gospel songs in church throughout her childhood. Sky grew up around family friend Michael Jackson, stating in an interview: "We just became friends with him. When I was born, I was raised around him, I always saw him. I had holidays with him and stuff like that." At age 13, she started taking opera lessons to refine her singing voice. She spent the next few years maintaining a MySpace profile where she uploaded various demos of self-written tracks. Shortly before her 15th birthday, she caught the attention of Swedish producers Bloodshy & Avant by sending them a message through the social networking site. The producers were impressed and subsequently decided to work with her.
Ferreira is musically influnced by former Spice Girls bandmate Emma Bunton, Michael Jackson, Prince, Blondie, Elton John, David Bowie, Serge Gainsbourg, Meja, Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj.She also cites stars like Madonna, Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani, Alice Cooper, Nancy Sinatra and The Runaways as her musical role models.

In October 2011, Ferreira announced in a magazine that she is still currently working on her debut album, but is changing her musical direction to a more 'Blondie' inspired sound, stepping away from electropop.
In November 2011, Ferreira announced on her official Facebook that the new album is expected to be released on Summer 2012 and the first single on February 2012.
Ferreira announced via Tumblr that her debut album will be titled after one of her new songs, "Wild At Heart", and confirmed 'Swamp Girl' and '24 Hours' as the title of two other tracks off the album. The first single, to be released in March 2012, is going to be the most 'electropop' sounding on the record.

Sky recently shared Lost In My Bedroom with us, a song from her debut album. As of yet only a LQ track and a demo are circulating.
Her music really does ****. And the songs shes been leaking are fire.
Yeah. I love her dance pop stuff so much. I hope she doesn't go away too much from it. I heard she would still be working with this hot pop dance producer so she didn't leave it all out for some indie route. Still, judging on the snippets her album will be amazing

Right, her stuff with Bloodshy and Avant is totally hot.
I'd rather see her going more into the Rock-ish direction though, I mean Obsession and 17 >>>
