Skylights Booking Agency Profile
The band gained recognition after winning the 'Road to Joburg Day' competition in 2010 and placed in the Top 20 of the SA's Got Talent reality competition shortly after. They performed their hit single "Always Enough" in front of 18,000 people at Joburg Day.
However, the band was forced to take a break due to nodules on Gregory Jorden's vocal chords. After two years of natural healing, they returned to the studio with Grammy- and SAMA-winning producer Darryl Torr to record their debut album, which was independently released in December 2013.
Their album, Made for More, is a 10-track masterpiece filled with inspirational messages that reference the band's Christian faith. The album is influenced by pop-rock and contemporary Christian music, and their sound is reminiscent of Matchbox 20 and The Fray. Made for More received good reviews worldwide and was rated four out of five by the Celebrity Café, which praised the album's inspirational lyrics.
Wesley Ayliffe, the band's assistant engineer, later became the fourth member, joining as a guitarist and backup vocalist. The band has no interest in signing with a record label and continues to create their own music. With their unique sound and powerful message, Skylight is a breath of fresh air in the South African music scene and has the potential to rise to the heights of popular bands like Gangs of Ballet, Just Jinjer, and Prime Circle, according to Therese Owen of The Star..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking Skylights to perform.
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like Skylights in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking Skylights or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Skylights's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking Skylights for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book Skylights, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing Skylights. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate Skylights booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Skylights for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Skylights booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Skylights charge for an event. An example fee to book Skylights is in the starting range of $15,000-$24,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Skylights agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Skylights manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Skylights for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Skylights agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Skylights, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Skylights booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Skylights, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
