Who is sydneyunicorns?

Sydney Angel aka sydneyunicorns is a Los Angeles-based songwriter, producer, and artist who blends genre-bending pop with experimental soundscapes. Her music often fuses ethereal vocal layering and catchy, interesting melodies with powerful production, and multifaceted vocals with lyrics that balance darkness, light, rebellion, and vulnerability. She is always evolving and experimenting while staying true to her voice, vision, & sound.

In sessions as a producer and songwriter, Sydney brings a sense of whimsy and an experimental nature. She creates a safe, curious, open space that thrives on connection, trust, and kindness. Her goal is always to create music together that alchemizes story to song and cuts to the core of the artist’s authentic voice.

She is 1/2 of the production/writing duo with Bec Hollcraft, seraph/serpent.

In addition to writing, Sydney hosts and curates backyard concerts at her home, and is passionate about uplifting the voices and projects of minority and gender expansive artists and producers.She is also a professional photographer.

She lives in LA with her husband, Randy, and their pug, Nemo (@heylittlenemo), where she has a very fun and inviting music studio, complete with giant unicorn stuffed animal (obviously).
