| Releases: | [The Hunger's Back] [Pressure : The Mixtape : Hosted by DJ Lopez] [Pressure] [Brainstormin' (EP)] | | Info: | SYD, pronounced as the letters "s-y-d", was raised in a
christian home with strong values. Nonetheless, life was far
from perfect. Born with a heart defect, SYD constantly
battled his condition until the age of 16. In spite of his
physical and spiritual needs, he ran from God rather than
embracing him.
Surgery
SYD recounts: "After my last open-heart surgery while I was
sitting in the hospital bed, I realized I couldnt keep
running anymore. It was by his grace that I was even
alive." From that moment onward, SYD turned his life over
to Christs will.
Rooted
Nonetheless, SYD's musical origins were not always rooted
in Christ. He first began dabbling with his gift while in
middle school before becoming a christian. He and his
brother formed a group called Dokside (pronounced Darkside)
and recorded vocals over their favorite beats on an old tape
recorder.
Hate
As time passed, his talent and interest in music grew. He
joined a group called Holokost, using his skills for the
very opposite purpose for which they were intended. A former
gang member, SYD's lyrical content expressed his inner
hate, anger, and despair. The group disbanded and SYD found
himself under the tutelage of a local DJ both musically and
spiritually.
La Familia
Soon after, he was introduced to fellow La Familia artist
Carlito P. The two MCs created the group Caribbean Outreach
and began performing in small local venues. Finally, the
group, now renamed S.O.W. (Seeds of Worship) added male
vocalist Ryan Horton. The group disbanded in 2005 though all
three members are current solo artists under La Familia
Muzik.
Listening
Combining the reggae influences of his island background
with the hip-hop sound he learned by listening to artists
such as Nas and Jay-Z, SYD offers the best of both worlds.
Power
Even more importantly within his music, SYD offers the hope
of Christ's redemptive power: "God is fulfilling his
purpose in my life everyday whether through my music or just
through my daily walk. My life is evidence of Gods mercy.
Now, I'm taking the gift I've received and bringing it to
those that I love, those that I've had to leave behind, and
even to those that will only meet me behind a
microphone."
Touring
He has shared the stage with artists such as KJ-52, Cross
Movement, Da’ T.R.U.T.H., Group 1 Crew, Lecrae, Flame, Trip
Lee, Paul Wright, and DecembeRadio.
