This is the page of Elena Skoko aka Sugar Babe where you can find her productions related to music, poetry and visual arts. For her fashion creations, please visit myspace.com/sugarbabeorg . I can't resist words, they just come to me. I like to use my voice to project emotions. Sometimes I present them in a shape of spoken word collaborating with various artists, sometimes like phrases projected on the buildings with the laser beam. From 1996 to 2001 I was a lead singer and author in the Italian band CUT, we were doing noise rock'n'roll, made three records and played all around Italy and abroad. I also sang with Julie's Haircut and Timoria. During that time, I was part of the indie label Gamma Pop.

In 2001 I started to mix poetry with fashion and performance and did "ophLove" . It was a fashion show where live poetry, music and clothes were used to shape emotions and build a psychomagical act. It worked. In 2002 I collaborated with djs and turntablists for "Proleter-K fashion no-show". It was MCing, scratching, good music, video, laser poetry, massive dia-projections, clothes and people, a lot of people puzzling. From 2003 to 2005 I did electronic poetry (spoken words + electronic sounds) with Marta Zapparoli aka Penelopex - we were called 2B1C ("two blonds one computer") and played in some amazing places like Stubnitz boat in Hamburg.

In 2006 I discovered Myspace and put on my poems, plain voice and naked emotions. I started to collaborate with musicians and composers who wanted to put my words into their music. A collaboration with Luca Pagani was born and we did a jam session in Savona in summer 2007. It was the first time we actually met and did a show. It worked. With Luigi Mastandrea - Mind I gave my voice to passionate words of a mystic Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi. I like the composition he made of it. It was part of a sound installation held in her church in Florence in summer 2007. To learn more about Sugar Babe visit www.sugarbabe.org .
