Former Skillet guitarist helping new artists

Ben Kasi­ca, who left Skil­let in Feb­ru­ary, is look­ing to help artists break into the music indus­try.

Kasi­ca start­ed play­ing gui­tar with Skil­let when he was 16, and after 10 years left the band for new ven­tures. Kasi­ca’s Skies Fall Media Group has the goal to “make a dif­fer­ence in the world, that we can com­mu­ni­cate the heart of God through cre­ativ­i­ty and inspi­ra­tion,” he said in a release.

This week Skies Fall will release the debut sin­gle, “Live for Love” from We Are Leo, a Chica­go-based band.
