Sydney Irving

Introducing the youngest guest of the podcast so far, but one of the oldest souls! At 17, New York native, Sydney Irving is in the early years of her music career, but she has already been named the 2020 young adult artist of the year by the International Singer-Songwriters Association. At only 14, her debut album, “Hello Stranger” was released. Irving has been fortunate to have had the opportunity to be direct support for Starship featuring Mickey Thomas at the 2019 Spiedie Fest in Binghamton, NY, and perform at the 2019 Dio Day event in Cortland, NY. Later that year, Sydney attended a Barns Courtney concert. She had the chance to meet him before the show and then during the show, Courtney called her up on stage to sing his hit song “You & I” with him! She has also had the privilege to open for artists like Matt Rogers and Mikele Buck as well as be the youngest artist to have a residency at the largest casino in New York State. Sydney Irving, who has been nominated for best singer/songwriter at the Syracuse Area Music Awards three times, has been writing songs since she was twelve with her guitar. Sydney is a proud Breedlove Guitar endorsed artist. Along with being named the 2020 Female Artist of the Year by Music Mafia Radio, now at 17, Irving is gearing up to release her fifth studio album, "Relax With Fiends" which is set to be released in December 2020. With a fresh, indie rock sound, Sydney is following her dreams of pursuing music. We feature Sydney's brand new single, What Have You Done. It’s available on a limited edition CD on Sydney’s website, sydneyirvingmusic.com and there’s only 100 available! They are hand-signed and numbered.
