The Sunshine State releases a lovely alternative-pop tune, entitled, “Dating a Drug Dealer”

The Sunshine State is the new project of distinguished songwriter, Skyler Stonestreet.

The Sunshine State – “Dating a Drug Dealer” single

“‘Dating a Drug Dealer’ is about a romance that was fleeting and ultimately destructed itself. But for a moment, I was very in the moment with someone who had a lot of secrets that I was ok with him keeping.” – The Sunshine State explained

‘Dating a Drug Dealer’ contains a relationship-based narrative, ear-welcoming vocals, and tuneful melodies that will resonate well with fans of Hailey Knox, Sara Bareilles, and Stacy Clark. The likable tune possesses vibrant instrumentation flavored with alternative-pop and indie-rock elements. Furthermore, “Dating a Drug Dealer” follows hot on the heels of The Sunshine State’s previously released singles, entitled, “Things Changed” and “Cliff Drive.”

“The less I know the better.”

Skyler Stonestreet was born in Las Vegas. She moved to Los Angeles shortly after graduating high school to pursue a career in music. However, a breast cancer diagnosis put things on hold for a little while. After successfully battling the disease, Skyler’s experience, determination, and gusto became a clear catalyst for her budding career. So far, she has written hits for Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, and Hailee Steinfeld.
