This is Home Project, created by Skinner in October 2022, provides funding to foundations whose focus is to help LGBTQIA+ youth in need. Through this project, Skinner continues to aim to increase access to LGBTQIA+ related physical and mental healthcare, safe housing, and much more, both on a broader and more personal scale. Since its creation, This Is Home Project has benefited the Black LGBTQIA+ Migrant Project, True Colors United, Trans Lifeline, BTFA Collective, and Stonewall. Over the next three years, This Is Home Project will donate a minimum of $1 million.
In November, Cavetown released his fifth studio album, worm food, the writing process of which is detailed in a New York Times feature piece. The album is arguably his most elaborately realized body of work to date, shaping his idiosyncratic storytelling into songs that ultimately give voice to our own most intimate emotions. In February, he released the single “Fall In Love With A Girl” with beabadoobee, which was featured in Billboard’s “The 25 Best Pride Songs of 2022 (So Far).” Cavetown embarked on a nearly sold-out headlining tour across Europe and the UK in support of the album, including his largest headlining show to date in front of over 5,000 fans at the Eventim Apollo in London. Earlier in 2022, Cavetown embarked on his U.S. tour, selling over 50,000 tickets and performing at iconic sold-out venues such as Los Angeles’s Hollywood Palladium and Terminal 5 in New York City.
