"The musical debut of Sköll occurs between 2000 and 2001 with the first live performances and participation in the compilation "Exordia". In 2001 Sköll complete its first production, the minialbum "Cosmo or microcosmo". A year later, giving birth to a new work called "Evita" which aims to raise funds for the weaker sectors of the population of Argentina, hit by a severe economic crisis. All'abum prominence, and his charity, is given by some local media and national. In particular, the newspaper Il Giornale, Sunday, April 7, 2002 published an extensive article with a photo of Sköll and a caption: "The singer of a myth. For Evita Peron has dedicated the album sold Sköll pro-cacerolados Argentina" .
On June 26 of that year he performed at the prestigious theater "Dal Verme" in Milan, in front of a thousand people getting a great success and, after only four days, playing with the famous singer-songwriter Gatto Panceri in the central square of Follonica in front of a lot people (over 5,000 appearances). Sköll is a finalist on the fourth national festival of independent labels (Biella): after passing the selections summer for admission, exceeds even the semi-finals, so taking part in the final round, which takes place October 25th, 2002.
In March 2003 he released the album "Lune feroci": the promotion tour of the album sees him engaged in many places in Italy and abroad. On 6 March 2004 in the fabulous scenery of the Italian Vittoriale and with Fabio Constantinescu, holds a concert event taking thirty successes of Italian alternative music.
Towards the end of June 2005, publishes the highly anticipated album "Sole e acciaio", a concept rock almost entirely dedicated to the great Japanese writer Yukio Mishima and the traditional Japan.
On 25th April 2007, Sköll public mini-album "Eclipse" and, after a few months, "Il segreto di Lacedemone", an acoustic work (acoustic guitars, piano and symphonic samples) that deviates from the sounds more rock of the last works .
To date, Sköll did over 150 concerts: in addition to Italy, Sköll has played in France, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium and Canada.
In late 2010, public "Armilustri absinthium", a long-awaited album of ballads for guitars and piano, which marks a new level of quality achieved by Sköll and that strengthens the bond with its historical musicians (among them David Picone on the piano).
In 2013 he born "Eroica", a real concept album devoted entirely to the history of Italy. The sounds are harsh and distorted, mixes designed to bring out the electric guitars and dark atmosphere. A collection of heroic figures and epic episodes, beginning with the Renaissance and ends with Paolo Borsellino, passing by the heroism of the soldiers of the Piave and the Grappa to the Knights of Isbuscenskij, by the figures of Gabriele D'Annunzio and Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, the enterprise of the conquerors of K2. The newspaper Il Giornale published an interview which opens with a presentation of the album by the same Sköll: "Singing the guys who made the Risorgimento with great momentum; mountaineers of Ardito Desio who are clinging to the walls of K2 killer to plant the flag; originality of Futurism; Paolo Borsellino and who, like him, has sacrificed proving that one man with the back straight is worth a multitude bent to any compromise. "
Just exactly one year after the publication of "Eroica", Sköll is back with an album very different from the previous "Zero", an album of rock ballads (released in mid-2014) that is the highest point on the artistic production of Sköll. Complex and varied in musical atmosphere, sophisticated arrangements and attention to every aspect of production, he tells again of men and women who have made an example. The newspaper published an article about the album of Sköll. "It's the disc that are more connected," says the singer, "the summary of 15 years of music, with a great balance between rock, ballads and electronics. It seems trite to say but I write only for passion, for things that excite me. My great-grandfather fought on the Carso and my grandfather at El Alamein and Tobruk: both have taught me one thing above all, to love and defend my country, something that now no longer anyone. "
2015: 90th anniversary of the birth of Yukio Mishima, the 45th anniversary of his death, sought and attained the age of 45. In this year, so numerically symbolic, Sköll commemorates Yukio Mishima with the music, in a special way. "I have decided to take back all the songs that I've written over the years by dedicating to him and Japan (not only those in "Sole e acciaio"), rearrange them, integrate old sounds with new sounds, redo mixes. A challenging job that has changed the face of these songs, gave him new life, lush arrangements, new components play with new musical instruments. At the opening of this new record, then, a new song that best sums up the meaning of each word of a disk so radically theme ... an important song that gives the title to the entire project. "
In April 2015, his book "Il sogno di Mishima", the last album of Sköll."
