Sydney Ross Mitchell – Cynthia

Emerging singer-songwriter Sydney Ross Mitchell releases her new EP Cynthia on Disruptor Records.

Cynthia includes the previously released singles “Big Boy Problems”, “Queen of Homecoming” and “Cynthia.”

Over eight tracks, Mitchell oscillates between her religious Texas childhood and her present-day Los Angeles lifestyle, charting the complicated terrain where desire, guilt, self-indulgence, and grace collide. Produced by Mason Stoops (Lizzy Mcalpine, Role Model), Jonathan Wilson (Angel Olsen, Father John Misty), Michael Harris (Mk.gee, Noah Kahan) and Sammy Witte (Harry Styles, Maggie Rogers), Cynthia spans soaring musical moments, stripped-back emotional performances, and anthemic choruses that mirror the dynamic emotional landscape she writes from.

Sydney Ross Mitchell grew up as the only girl in a house full of brothers, in a West Texas town where the three pillars of life were Faith, Family, and Football. From a young age, she had to learn to play hard, hold her own, and make herself heard – instincts that now imbue her writing with a rare mix of sharpness, desperation, and grace that have made her narrative voice unmistakable.

After moving to Los Angeles, Mitchell waited tables and wrote songs between shifts, quietly carving out a space for herself in the city’s creative undercurrent. Her sound lives somewhere between Americana storytelling and pop transcendence. It’s personal, plainspoken, and always searching for meaning in both the sacred and the profane.

Sydney Ross Mitchell put herself on the map with her 2024 single, “Forward to the Kill,” which earned a co-sign from SZA and recognition from Zane Lowe, who featured the track on his Apple Music playlist and radio show. Whether performing with a five-piece band or solo acoustic, Sydney exudes a natural charisma on stage and has captured live audiences across North America and the UK with her singular songwriting and vulnerable performance.
