Sydney Worthley is a shining young singer/songwriter from New York’s capital region. Incorporating elements of pop, country, rock, and folk, Sydney melds them into a sound all her own. Sydney’s myriad vocal styles can be enjoyed in sweet, delicate love songs, powerful ballads, and cutting rock numbers.

She is currently recording her debut album, Strong (May 2017, Ambassador Music Group) with session musicians Leo Valenchis Jr. and Derick Noetzel. Strength, courage, and perseverance propelled Sydney through the hardest time of her life and are prominent themes in her songs. Many young people face hardship and personal struggle in their lives, and often feel isolated and alone. Sydney is passionate about sharing her experiences to help people feel connected and understood, and to find the strength to go on. This roller coaster of an album takes a powerful stance in the face of tremendous loss and heartbreak, ultimately inspiring her listeners to be strong.

Sydney began performing in 2012 and, shortly thereafter, earned the Saratoga County Rising Star Award for her outstanding ability and achievement. She continued performing and recording alongside Rick Bolton and 7-time Grammy Award winning producer Joel Moss, and in 2014 won the Capital Region Teen Idol competition. Sadly, tragedy struck her family a year later when two close relatives passed away only a few months apart. Sydney’s immense loss fueled her creative energy and inspired many of the songs on her new album. Her talent and potential was recognized in 2016 by Andrew Gabriel of Ambassador Music Group (AMG). Later that year, Sydney signed with AMG and began production of her first full-length original album set to release mid-2017.

Multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter Sydney Worthley writes for her family, for her friends, and for you. She has big things planned for 2017, so keep an eye on this powerful young woman as she makes strides into her future.
