Born in Libreville, Gabon, Emmanuel has grown from a curious child in an apartment complex in Ottawa, ON, to a flourishing musician and multifaceted artist in the suburbs of Northern Virginia. From an early age, music wasn’t just a hobby — it was a language, a way to make sense of the world and express the parts of himself words alone couldn’t capture.

With two albums already under his belt, Emmanuel, formerly known by his stage name Skytlz, is entering a new era of artistic evolution. His upcoming project, Blackout, is his most personal and ambitious body of work to date — an unfiltered exploration of his complex relationship with music, identity, and the world around him. The journey begins with his upcoming SoundCloud-exclusive single, Who Feels, which flips the hauntingly introspective “a good man with a broken heart” by LoVibe into something entirely his own.

If his early work was about proving his talent, this new chapter is about defining his legacy. Known for blending thought-provoking lyricism with genre-fluid production, Emmanuel has built a reputation for making music that’s as emotionally raw as it is technically sharp — the kind of tracks that stay with you long after the last note fades. With Blackout set to release at the end of 2025, Emmanuel is poised to deliver the kind of project that not only marks a milestone in his career but also positions him as one of the most compelling emerging voices in modern music.
