Sydney Jones is an Elmira, Ontario native now living in Kitchener.

The first single "Not My People" will be out July 24th. Sydney has found her voice marked by raw, heartfelt lyrics, and unapologetic honesty. She weaves together indie and pop genres with a core of alternative country, and folk roots. In 2024, Sydney opened for Canadian artists Ariel Posen, and Glenn Milchem (Blue Rodeo), and shared lineups with Bahamas, Tim Baker, Danny Michel, Christine Bougie, and Steve Strongman to name a few.
