Sydny August is a Chicago-based singer-songwriter whose 2020 quarantine debut album, Miss August, continues to gain coast-to-coast attention and acclaim for its emotional and sonically charged vocals and lyrics. Sydny’s powerful independent release schedule began during her junior year in high school. She emerged into Chicago’s underground music scene with live performances and a slate of original singles and covers posted on Soundcloud.

Since 2017, Sydny has been prolific by releasing five EP’s—all while attending the University of Kansas—which include 6th Floor (2017), August Project (2018), UNI (2019), 45 (2019), and NeverMore (2019). Sydny’s Freshman EP, 6th Floor, caught the attention of Chicago street blog Lyrical Lemonade, calling her “one of the best upcoming voices in the city,” and earned a position on LL’s Top 50 Chicago Projects of 2017 (Montanez 2017).

In October of 2019, Sydny August was approached by Chicago rapper, Lil Durk, with immense interest and respect in hopes of bringing the independent singer to his label. Miss August signed with OTF nine months later. Sydny is a recent graduate of the University of Kansas and is looking forward to taking on new projects, collaborations, and challenges for her next chapter.
