Biography

In 2004, he collaborated with Tony Le Rhodes, who is his brother Tony Agamalis. He was the ex-drummer for the "Choirboys", which than linked up with Mark Gable, lead singer of Australian rock band The Choirboys to rework their 1987 Australian hit "Run to Paradise" as a dance track. The song, billed as "Nick Skitz vs. the Choirboys", debuted in the top 20 of the Australian pop charts in July 2004, and was the 17th biggest selling dance single of that year.[2]

In 2009 Central Station Records folded and Skitz started his own labels LNG Music and Homebrew Records.[3]
