Skinner publicly dated Avery Vernon from September 2019 to March 2020. In an interview with Urban Outfitters, he stated, "I got a boyfriend recently, I'm very excited about it and I like him and I'm going to write a song about him sometime". In early March, Vernon confirmed that he and Skinner were no longer in a relationship.

In 2016, Skinner released his second studio album, 16/04/16. The album includes a mix of "warm, melodic bedroom pop" and "lo-fi indie rock". The album was dedicated to Skinner's childhood friend, Jack Graham, who died of leukaemia on the album's titular date. 60% of the album's proceeds were donated to Cancer Research UK.

Skinner began his YouTube channel in November 2012 and uploaded his first video, an original song named Haunted Lullaby, in October 2013. The first song Skinner wrote and recorded was Rain in 2013. Soon after, Skinner began releasing music to Bandcamp with his first album, Everything Is Made of Clouds, at the age of 14. Skinner released Gd Vibes, Nervous Friends // Pt. 1, Balance (as brother) and Everything is Made of Stars on Bandcamp over the following two years.

Critics described the album cavetown as "an eclectic mix of acoustic and electronic".
