Sydney introduces himself to the Hip-Hop game with a new release entitled “Soulless”.
We have to say that the promising artist chose the right track to mark the world of music. Since the first notes of the chorus, we felt that powerful energy, our head did not stop moving.
And then the verses drop. Sydney delivers a recognizable voice, a flow that plays with your feelings and that remind us by the way of artists like Lil Skies: Sydney is intense and is now on repeat in our Playlists and is a must-listen.
We invite you to discover his music right now and to discover our conversation with him below:
1.Can you please tell our readers your real name as well as your stage name?
Real name: Jonjo Smyth, Stage name: SYDNEY
2.Where are you from and Where are you based?
I was born in Watford UK but moved to Ireland when i was young and was raised in a county called Meath.
3.At What age did you start making music?
I’ve always had a strong connection to music from a young age, remembering my mum playing me her Michael Jackson Vinyls. I’ve listened to all different kinds of artists since a young age from Green day, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Eminem to more newer artists these days like J. Cole, lil skies, Juice WRLD and many more. I remember 3 to 4 years ago first getting into ‘recording’ by recording some freestyles in my car on the way to work on my phone usually just acapella lol but nothing major, Then a year and a half ago I bought equipment and a computer, and started recording.
4.What genre would you consider yourself?
I would say the music I’ve recorded and am working on is mainly Trap/Rap at the moment , but definitely will be experimenting in different lanes, never wanting to be held to one genre.
5.Tell us about your latest track or Video ( what is it all about)–Please explain the concept or message.
My latest track which is my debut track ‘Soulless’ is about being in a relationship and knowing it’s going nowhere like it’s a waste of time and feeling confused. I just like to go with the flow when i’m recording, my main goal is to have fun and just enjoy the process! Sometimes I’m feeling up and sometimes I’m down when recording, could change from song to song and even verse to verse, Like in this song when on the chorus i’m feeling down about myself and then in some verses saying how i’m gonna blow and almost ‘flexing’.
6.If you were given a chance, which Artist would you love to perform with?
I’m gonna answer this in 3 quick parts, (if that’s okay lol)
1st would be Travis Scott just for the pure adrenaline, the energy this man has on stage in next level.
2nd is lil skies one of my favorite artists at the minute, been listening since he was underground, the man is super talented
and 3rd would be my bro MacRose @zacharymacpherson, friends since school, he got me into recording and would love to perform/tour together!
