Ian Rojas (primarily Jan
Paul Rojas, born 16 January, 1997) is an American electronic music artist, producer,
DJ, songwriter, language creator, and poet -- known professionally as SKED. His alter egos are Logan Mayer &
Tess Laney.
He has lived most of his life in Cape Town, South
Africa and traveled the world for
21 years. In his early life, he was a pianist and violinist. Growing up, he first became a music
stunt inquiring an open mind to his aspiring future music growth and to gain popularity among nearby fans.
He later crafted music under the music artist name SKED as initially taking two influential and professional electronic music producing and recording artists--Sonny J. Moore’s Skrillex and Anton Zaslavski’s Zedd-- artists names into one.
Mostly inspired by
said artists, including artists such as Bro Safari, Diplo, deadmau5, Rusko, Excision,
et.
al., SKED introduces newer music that inspires himself to create more and shares it with the public regardless of music tastes.
His music style is dark, but he leans toward diversifying genres drawing influences from classical,
hip-hop, pop, and rock music.
