Early life

Skehan was interested very early in music. In 2006, he became part of the global/international boy band project Streetwize (alongside Irish Lee Mulhern, British Lee Hutton and Swedish Jonathan Fagerlund) and American Cory Amundson. The original members made a tour in Ireland, UK, Sweden, and appeared on the US television station CN8, a cable television station where they performed in a morning show hosted by Greg Coy singing "Room in Your Heart". Skehan and Jonathan Fagerlund were disenchanted with the progress of the band and left early to be replaced by Venezuelan Antonio Jones and American Kyle Carpenter. His other successful family members include rugby coach and teacher at St. Michael's College, Andrew Skehan. His family worked in the fruit business.
