Skema Boy—born Nathanael Volf in Chino Hills, California—is a fast-rising force in Christian hip-hop, now based in Los Angeles. Raised in Connecticut, Skema wrestled with abandonment, identity, and the weight of being adopted amid the fallout of his parents’ divorce. Music became his way of processing the pain, and in 2015, after a life-changing encounter with Jesus at a youth camp, his path took turn.
In 2016, he moved back to California to pursue music full-time and attended Biola University for his undergraduate studies. His calling found its voice in 2022 with the release of Jesus In My Life, a heartfelt debut that laid the foundation for a mission bigger than music. National attention followed in 2023 with his breakout single Wristwatch, which has now surpassed 4 million streams on Spotify, also known for hits like, THE ANTHEM, BLIMP, and GODS ARMY in 2025. Skema Boy’s catalog is unapologetically Kingdom-centered, but his sound stands toe-to-toe with mainstream trap artists.
With each release, Skema Boy continues to position himself as one of the most compelling new voices in the faith-based rap scene. His slogan, “This ain’t rap, this is worship,” isn’t just branding—it’s his heartbeat. To Skema Boy, rap isn’t just music, it’s a heart posture—a vehicle to glorify God and lead listeners into truth.
With over 166,000 followers on Instagram and 200,000+ on TikTok, Skema Boy is cultivating a loyal, engaged fanbase. And as the movement grows, so does the Kingdom
