I built the sky (capitalization intentional) is a One-Man Instrumental Progressive Metal project of guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Rohan "Ro Han" Stevenson from Melbourne, Australia. He is known for his "happy" take on metal, featuring an uptuned guitar rather than the downtuned kind that is typical of most metal bands. Through social media, he has gained a fairly large following thanks to his technical skill and willingness to mix genres together.
