Sydney Jo Jackson

Sydney Jo Jackson is a British singer-songwriter and seasoned international performer known for her distinctive husky voice and an increasingly eclectic sound. Born in Birmingham, raised in London, with chapters spent living in America and now Indonesia, Sydney’s music reflects a life shaped by different places, cultures and sounds. Of Jamaican and English heritage, soul has always been at the heart of her music, but her recent time in Indonesia has opened up a new period of experimentation. Moving between soul, pop, funk, dance and bilingual English-Indonesian records, Sydney is enjoying the freedom of making music without feeling tied to one particular genre. Her influences are just as varied — from the raw energy of Tina Turner and Prince to the unapologetic pop of Britney Spears and the Spice Girls. After years of performing around the world, this chapter is simply about exploring different sides of herself as an artist and making the music she wants to make.
