At age 11, Skuller wrote his first fully realized song, the rockabilly tinged “Love Is A Drum.” On September 6, 2009, at age 13 Skuller won first place in the teen division performing the song in the NJ 101.5 FM radio sponsored Big Joe Jersey Talent Show in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ.
A demo of “Love Is A Drum” was produced by Daniel Rey, known for his work with the punk band the Ramones. The recording featured Nada Surf drummer Ira Elliot. Hoboken, NJ indie label Bar/None Records released the rockabilly tinged song as a limited edition single on April 20, 2010. The Examiner called it “arguably the best single released by anyone this year.” The New York Post called Skuller “a mini Jack White.”
Skuller made his television debut performing “Love Is A Drum” live on FOX TV’s Good Day New York on September 2, 2010.
In December 2011, Skuller’s song “You’ll Never Take My Holiday” was selected for an ASPCA holiday email campaign.
In 2012, Skuller was featured on Channel One News seen by 6 million students across the United States. On May 8, 2012 Skuller was invited to perform to over 700 New York area high school students at GRAMMY Career Day sponsored by the GRAMMY Foundation.

In October 2012, Radio Disney N.B.T. will release Skuller’s songs “S.U.R.E.” as well as a re-record of “Love Is A Drum” on Walt Disney Records. The songs are produced by Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount known as ZK Productions whose credits include Cartel, Mayday Parade, All Time Low and the Ready Set.
Skuller describes his sound as ‘vintage-pop’ with a mixture of classic rock-and-roll. “You hear pop in the lyrics, like a Beatles kind of pop, and then the melodies go from 50’s influences to The Black Keys.”
