ABOUT

Sydney Mae is an award-winning Pop/Adult Pop recording and performing artist based in Toronto. She has been recognized internationally for her gift of superior storytelling and room-silencing vocals that draw you in to see the world through her eyes. Originally from Calgary, Mae’s contemporary musical influences include Maggie Rogers, Madi Diaz, Donovan Woods, JP Saxe & Kacey Musgraves, to name a few. “My music has always come from a place of deep self-awareness and learning.” explains Mae. “There's something within me that is desperate to explore the human experience, and when others see themselves in my lyrics, it’s truly still a bizarre experience. I have a mountain of gratitude for that special connection.” 

Her new EP, Rhythm (Oct 2023), is carefully driven by themes of self-compassion & resilience. “Each of these songs was written from a lesson that brought me a little bit closer to finding and honoring a deeper connection (or rhythm) with myself before anyone or anything else,” explains Mae.  

The title track is the follow-up single to “What We Do” (Apr 2023) and “Not the Only One” (Jan 2023). “Knowing there’s an intangible, guiding ‘rhythm’ that I can connect to within myself that has impulses, intuition, and maybe a sense for things otherwise unexplainable, has become an anchor and a guide I can fully lean into,” says Mae. 

Mae’s debut single, “Feet First” (2021), is featured in the Netflix reality series, Love Is Blind (Episode 403; March 2023), has accumulated 350,000+ streams and was the #1 most-played song at one point on Stingray Music’s Pop Adult channel.
