Sydney
Being the youngest child in a very musical family, Sydney Price started writing songs at a very young age. The moment she heard Joni Mitchell sing was the moment she knew what she wanted to do with her life. Sydney followed in her brother and sister's footsteps attending Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, Texas. It was there she began developing her craft as a musican. Sydney's song writing skills were validated after winning first prize in the 2005 John Lennon songwriting contest sponsored by Yoko Ono and BMI. After high school, she moved to New York City where she studied Jazz and Contemporary Music at the New School and met Richard Harper, her voice teacher. It was Richard who helped Sydney sharpen her vocal skills. His impact, the influences of songwriters like Lucinda Williams and Patty Griffin, and the admiration for icons like Whitney Houston, Ella Fitzgerald, Elis Regina, Jewel, and Leontyne Price (hoping somehow they might be related) are what has developed her rich and diverse abilitites as a singer/songwriter. Sydney has spent the last several years writing and performing throughout New York City for several bands including The Loom and Northwood. Her natural gift for story telling captures the hearts of the audience everytime. Sydney lives in Brooklyn, New York and continues to venture down south to perform and collaborate with her family.
