Bob "Sky"​ Young is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from the greater Detroit area. An award-winning composer, he is best known as the leader of the Delta Twins band, but he also records and performs singer/songwriter material as Bob "Sky" Young, and instrumental electronic music as the virtual band Strobe Beacon. Bob also records and produces music for other artists through his Sky's The Limit recording studio and his record label Crosswaves Music. A prolific writer, Bob has been composing since he was just twelve years old. As a teen, Bob found he had a knack for writing songs with depth against music that was a remarkable blend of his influences without copying any one of them in particular. He studied music theory in college, then taught himself piano, blues harp, guitar, and became proficient at computer-based music and digital recording. When you hear Bob perform, you experience the force of musical and regional history through the heart of a son of the Midwest.
