Skinshape is the musical project of British musician and producer Will Dorey, whose work deftly navigates through the realms of multi-instrumental compositions, blending elements of funk, soul, reggae, psychedelic rock, and world music. Emerging in the mid-2010s, Skinshape's sound is characterized by its laid-back grooves, vintage tones, and Dorey's reflective, often introspective lyrics. His self-titled debut album was released in 2014 and set a precedent for the distinctive aesthetic that would become a hallmark of his artistic identity.

Over the years, Skinshape has continued to evolve, with Dorey drawing inspiration from his travels and his love for music from different cultures. As of more recent releases, such as "Arrogance is the Death of Men" and "Behind the Sun," he demonstrates a maturity in production and songcraft, offering listeners a rich sonic experience that feels both nostalgic and timelessly fresh. Tracks like "Amnesia" and "Nostalgia" highlight his ability to evoke emotion through atmospheric soundscapes, while "Turn Away" and "Losing My Mind" showcase a more upbeat, rhythmically driven side. Through a consistent stream of eclectic releases, Skinshape has solidified his place in the contemporary music scene as a creator of deeply immersive and soulful tunes.
