♥ YOU! JUSTINE SKYE

To her thousands of followers on Tumblr and Instagram, Justine Skye isn’t just an emerging music star — she’s known as The Purple Unicorn, the internet alter-ego she’s been carefully cultivating since age 16. The Brooklyn-bred teenager, now 19, first started her popular Tumblr as a way to express herself creatively: She’d post outfit photos, show off her signature violet hair, and, eventually share her music. Fast-forward a few years and whole lot of hard work later, and now the singer has a freshly-inked deal with Atlantic Records and a handful of R&B bangers to show for it. But despite this imminent success, Justine remains as down-to-earth as ever. She’s even still just as active on Tumblr (so you should totally follow her if you’re not already!). Just in time for the release of her latest single, “Bandit,” get to know Justine Skye in our pop quiz below.
