I Built The Sky

I Built The Sky is an instrumental guitar‑driven project founded in 2012 by Melbourne‑based musician Rohan “Ro Han” Stevenson. Initially conceived as a solo studio venture, the project features self‑produced compositions ranging from technical, riff‑focused material to melodic lead work and acoustic pieces. Stevenson’s releases have attracted international attention within the modern guitar and progressive‑metal communities. Over time, the project expanded from a solo recording outlet into a full live band. Early live activity included support slots for international acts such as Between the Buried and Me, Chon, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Monuments, Polyphia, Plini, Intervals, Twelve Foot Ninja and Haken. In 2017, Stevenson presented a songwriting masterclass at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Later that year, I Built The Sky toured Australia in support of the album The Sky Is Not the Limit, followed by a national tour with Caligula’s Horse. In 2018, the project undertook a series of performances including a sold‑out support show with Twelve Foot Ninja, a sold‑out single launch for “Celestial,” two headline dates in New Zealand and a 23‑date European and UK tour with Caligula’s Horse and Circles. The 2019 album The Zenith Rise achieved chart placements on Bandcamp (Metal), the Australian Independent Record (AIR) charts and iTunes Australia. In early 2020, Stevenson performed at the NAMM Show in the United States on behalf of Bare Knuckle Pickups, followed by a European and UK tour with Monuments. See for more.
