This is your guide on how to elevate your music. This week we welcome Canadian DJ and producer Sydney Blu
Sydney has forged an impressive career over the last 20 years. She worked herself up from DJ’ing on her local after hours scene to touring around the world.
She taught herself how to make music and has gone on to release her tracks on some of the key labels from Knee Deep In Sound, Elrow, Desert Hearts and Deadmau5’ Mau5trap records.
She has her own label and legendary Party series. She also recently set up the Change The Beat, a platform to increase the number of female, trans and non-binary producers.
There’s a common theme along Sydney’s journey; creativity, passion, drive and a love of making music.
Sydney’s done a lot! And this one is full of wisdom. We get into her creative practices and rituals, her music making process and favourite plug-ins. We how she handles rejection, rebrand yourself when you want to change your sound and loads more.
