Skin

1967 Londra doğumlu Deborah Anne Dyer yani sahne ismiyle Skin, müzik kariyerine 1990’larda ortaya çıkan İngiliz rock hareketinin öncülerinden Skunk Anansie’de vokalist olarak başladı. Sahne ismini siyahi renginden ve dazlak saç modelinden alan sanatçı, bu grupla “Paranoid and Sunburnt” (1995), “Stoosh” (1997) ve “Post Orgasmic Chill” (1999) adlı üç tane oldukça başarılı albüme imza attı.
2001 senesinde Skunk Anansie’nin dağılmasının ardından solo kariyerine yönelen Skin, 2003 senesinde “Fleshwounds” adındaki ilk albümünü EMI etiketiyle piyasaya sürdü. Bu albümle eski grubu Skunk Anansie’den oldukça farklı bir soundu yakalayan sanatçı, albümüyle Avrupa’da büyük ilgi görmeyi başardı. Albüm sonrasında Placebo ve Robbie Williams ile turneye çıkan müzisyen, 2003 ve 2005 senelerinde ülkemizi de ziyaret etti. 2006 senesinde “Fake Chemical State” adlı 2. solo albümünü V2 Records etiketiyle yayınlayan Skin, albümden şu ana kadar “Alone In My Room”, “Just Let The Sun” ve “Purple” adlı parçaları single olarak yayınladı. Albüm sonrasında ‘Fake Chemical State Tour’ adlı turneye çıkan sanatçı, bu turne sırasında bir kez daha Türkiye’ye gelerek hayranlarıyla buluştu.

Deborah Anne Dyer (aka "Skin") (born 3 August 1967, Brixton, London) is the former lead vocalist of English band Skunk Anansie. She is now a solo artist and has released two albums (Fleshwounds in 2003 and Fake Chemical State in 2006).
Skin's career in music began in Skunk Anansie who were a band often grouped
as part of the britrock movement in the UK. They were noted for being a multi-racial band, and having Skin, a black, skinhead, female as their lead singer.
In 2001 the band decided to split. Ace released a solo album entitled Still Hungry, Mark became a replacement drummer for the band Feeder and Skin went on to pursue a solo career.
After Skunk Anansie split, Skin released her debut solo album Fleshwounds.
The album was toned down from her Skunk Anansie days and seemingly Skunk Anansie fans never took to it. The album was not a massive success in the UK but three singles were released from it; "Trashed", "Faithfulness" and "Lost" (a double A-Side with "Getting Away With It"). Elsewhere in Europe, the album's success was greater. For example, in Italy it peaked at #6
in the album chart. In Germany, it peaked at #18.
After releasing Fleshwounds, Skin went on to perform various solo gigs
around Europe. She was also support for the European leg of Robbie Williams'
and Placebo's world tours.

After touring, she began to record her second album, Fake Chemical State which was released on 20 March 2006.
