Even though Sydney is rapidly becoming a well-established artist, her voyage to success has not been easy. Struggling to find her sound and perfect the production of her music, Sydney spent months learning the ropes of music and recording in her home studio during the initial COVID-19 outbreak. Fortunately for Sydney, quarantine propelled her to light a spark. However, after partnering with a management company to expand her audience, Sydney’s range of ability became very limited. Feeling constrained, Sydney made the difficult decision to split from the deal and utilize her creativity.

“So many people have come and gone out of my life so I’ve realized that so many things are temporary but I am going to be stuck with me forever. So I think being happy is the number one thing that matters to me most and doing everything I can to stay motivated and stay authentic to myself.”

The main message she has for fans is to always be true to yourself and never lose sight of what is truly important.

“What separates me from most artists is that I want to be that artist that’s real. Everything that is out there right now is very fake, social media is very fake. I don’t think the standard that many people are putting out there for everyone right now is a good thing. I want to encourage girls like me, or anyone for that matter to be themselves and embrace who they really are. That’s the most important thing to do in order to be truly happy with yourself,” said Sydney.
