Biografie[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]

Sklar werd geboren in de staat Wisconsin, maar kort na zijn geboorte verhuisde de familie naar Zuid-Californië. Hij leerde op 4-jarige leeftijd pianospelen, en wilde piano studeren. Hij werd echter niet toegelaten wegens een te groot aantal aanmeldingen, maar kon wel bas gaan studeren. Als kind had Sklar blessures aan zijn linkerhand gehad waardoor zijn middelvinger en ringvinger verminderd functioneren. Hierdoor gebruikt hij vrijwel alleen zijn wijsvinger en pink op de toets van zijn basgitaar wat zijn manier van bas spelen sterk beïnvloed. Tijdens zijn studie aan de California State University - Northridge leerde hij James Taylor kennen die hem uitnodigde om met hem op te treden. Alhoewel deze samenwerking door beiden niet als langdurig werd ingeschat werd Sklar Taylors vaste bassist, hetgeen de start werd van een langdurige carrière.

In de jaren zeventig werkte Sklar samen met drummer Russ Kunkel, gitarist Danny Kortchmar en keyboardspeler Craig Doerge en ze genoten enige bekendheid als The Section. Onder deze naam namen ze tussen 1972 en 1977 drie albums op. Vaak werd het viertal echter als begeleidingsband ingehuurd, waardoor hun namen op veel albums van andere artiesten zijn terug te vinden.

In 2007 verving Sklar Mike Porcaro in Toto, toen die aan de ziekte ALS bleek te lijden.
