Owner
2012
An East PA native, I started performing professionally at weddings, festivals, and local taverns / pubs in 2012 to pay for college. In 2014 I packed up my '99 Grand Cherokee and moved across the country to fulfill my childhood dream of living in the Rockies. With ~1500+ live performances across hundreds of venues under my belt, including a Europe tour and solo performances at the nation's biggest music festivals, today I'm proud to have crafted a career as a VC investor-turned-startup operator now working in the music tech scene full time. I continue to play live shows weekly and am perpetually grateful for the ways in which my personal and professional passions fuel each other. www.sydniekeddington.com
