In a time and place where beef and turf politics surround rap music, Sydal has been labeled a breath of fresh air by fans and artists alike. This is because Sydal, who came into the game making dis records about anybody he wasn't feeling, did a complete 180 and refuses to take part in a practice that has forever held his city down in the industry. "Rap music used to thrive on beef, but the tables have turned. Fans want to hear good MUSIC, positive solutions and be entertained...not caught up in an issue that doesn't concern them". Sydal lives in a city that has been going through a constant power struggle, where everybody wants to be labeled the "king" of the city, and collaborations are few and far between. Sydal started freestyling at the age of 11, and started writing and recording songs at the age of 14. From there, he would duplicate mixtapes in his bedroom and pass them out on a daily basis...to whoever would take one from him. It wasn't until 2001, at the age of 19, that he financed and recorded his first LP, "Game Theory" and started getting his name out beyond his region. He caught the attention of many people throughout Northern California, and from there he grew his own fanbase from San Jose to Europe and Japan. After falling out with every artist he worked with, all he did was record dis record after dis record, and eventually decided to take a break from music altogether. Eventually, Sydal re-kindled his relationship with his old partner Erik Grant and got back into the studio. He met Young D and JC, some very talented artists, and it started to take off from there yet again. Sydal, Erik Grant and JC have been in the studio non-stop working on all new material. Because of that, you can expect a brand new album from Sydal very soon. Sydal has been from studio to studio, writing and recording non-stop for himself and for others. He is set to feature on numerous upcoming projects, and expand into other areas of entertainment as well. On top of all the recording, Sydal can be found in performing in venues such as The Improv in San Jose, The Britannia Arms in Cupertino, and various other places. If you'd like to see him in your area, hit him up and it will happen. We'll see what the world holds for this man, who is bent on creating good music for good people. "I don't want to make records that will get me killed, I want to make records that will get me HEARD! I'm here to touch people, and to make real music with some real talented people". I'm sure the world will be surprised when they hear what Sydal is bringing to the table. Sydal will be one of the best in the industry very soon. Feel free to contact Sydal at www.myspace.com/THEsydal
