SIDNEY -- Cody Ross and Cody Pringle are known for their skills in the corporate office.

They are focused on expanding their notoriety to music and the stage. They are writing, composing and performing under the name "Sky Manor."

Cody Ross says Sky Manor is a return to their passion.

"Sky Manor is a music group. Cody and I actually used to make music years ago under another alias called Proplex with another local kid here and then we ended up starting corporate careers, gave up music. Now after a long hiatus we're kind of back at it," said Cody Ross.

He said it is an undying dream of musicians once he gets that itch.

"Through marriage, through children, through all that stuff, I would always have the need to do it or I'd be in the car listening to music and I'd be sitting there saying 'Oh, I want to do my own version of this song or something. It's just an undying itch that never goes away If you've got that in your system you can't get rid of it," Ross said.

Cody Pringle agreed. He also has been involved in various types of music much of his life. The name Sky Manor is a geographic reference of Sidney, and allegorical in a way.

"For the name, it's essentially a location here in Sidney that I spent a lot of time at. I used to live up there. It also, kind of resonates with my Christianity. Sky Manor is another word for heaven," Pringle said.

Sky Manor's style of music varies, from hip-hop to "genre-bending," where they "bend" one genre into another: country hip-hip, rock hip-hop and including reggae and trans-electronic influences.

Sky Manor is working with X-Raided and Jehry Robinson who are on Tech N9ne’s label. And hope to work with King Iso in the future, who is a native of Omaha that was also signed to Strange Music. 

Ross and Pringle are in talks with promoters to be on stage in Colorado.  Pringle added Sky Manor music can be found on all major streaming platforms.
