A biography for Sydhasn’t been written yet.
“I sing, but I'm not a singer. I'm just a producer who sings on her own songs because I can't find anybody else who sounds like me.”
“I think that's what I learned a lot from Odd Future. I learned a lot of great things from them, but one of the mistakes that they made was that we didn't stay together, and we didn't communicate. We never had meetings. Everybody had issues with everybody else and wouldn't talk about it.”
“The gay community hated me for being part of Odd Future. They thought Odd Future was homophobic because they tend to use homophobic slang, and they were like: 'How can you work for and support homophobes?' But they aren't homophobic; they just don't really care whether you're offended or not.”
“When I started making music, I just wanted to be the producer who sang the hooks. I wanted to be Pharrell, honestly, the one who made the beats and was in the music video with the girls.”
“Some people just need something to be mad about.”
“Almost everything I've ever recorded, I recorded myself at the desk, in my house.”
“I was a loner; I spent the first half of high school alone.”
“I've always been comfortable with my gayness, but I was intimidated by the social anxiety.”
“I do want to inspire people - young girls who may like to wear boys' clothes and who romanticize women and feel nothing wrong with it.”
“I want to say I hate my generation, but I don't.”
“Justin Timberlake has a great live show.”
“Performing live was something that I had to really work at.”
“I was 16 when I recorded 'Flashlight.' I produced it, made the beat, wrote it, recorded it.”
“I think I see a lot of artists struggling to make their first album perfect, and I've been there.”
“I sing every day, on a regular basis.”
“If I have a session with an artist who I've never worked with before, they don't have to meet my parents, you know? Unless they want to.”
“I think the selfie age is kind of making fame annoying.”
“I started taking vocal lessons steadily. I started taking it seriously.”
“My mom wasn't expecting me to end up how I ended up. When she wanted to have kids, she wanted to have two girls, and then she got my brother and me. Which is a disappointment to anybody. You can't help it.”
“I think the audience is getting it right, you know what I mean? And that's kind of rare when the artist feels like their audience understand them. But I feel like people are understanding exactly what I'm going for. And that's awesome.”
