We’re looking forward to introducing you to Sydtastic. Check out our conversation below.
Hi Sydtastic, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
The first hour and a half of my day is an integral part of my routine. My alarm is set to wake me up at 6:45 a.m. I have to start early for many reasons — including my health. Just so you know, I am a military veteran who was permanently injured while on active duty. Typically, I start with prayer, hygiene, and making sure my house is in order. After that, I exercise before breakfast. I’ve learned that it’s imperative I stick to my routines to give myself the best chance at an optimal output once the creative part of the day starts.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Sure! My name is Sydni “Sydtastic” Jones. I am a multifaceted creative. My main focus is music production, artistry, and songwriting. I’ve been producing music for 20 years as of this year. The genres I currently focus on are Afrofusion, Amapiano, Gqom, Soca, Dancehall, Reggae, House, and R&B. Also, I pour a lot of creative energy into content creation and marketing for my brand. One thing that makes my brand unique is the selection of genres I create here in the United States — genres that have been growing in popularity in the U.S., for many years now. Since our last interview, my brand has continued to progress despite numerous challenges in every area of my life. In 2024, I graduated from Full Sail University with an Associate of Science in Audio Production. As of 2025, my company is Sydtastic, LLC. The company serves as my imprint and acts as an independent record label for Sydtastic releases and audio services. Also, I registered a trademark for my moniker, “Sydtastic,” with the USPTO. As of June 2025, I’m taking a break from releasing music to focus on my health and other major life changes. It’s my plan to resume music and content in 2026.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
Although I was labeled as “talented,”creative,” and “mature for my age” throughout my childhood, I endured a lot of fundamental pain. I suffered extensive physical, emotional, and psychological abuse within my family. There was a part of me that believed if you truly desire positive change and work to facilitate it, then positive change will happen. It’s not wrong or a waste of time to pursue change, but I’ve released the expectation of positive change in circumstances like this — especially ones that were never in my control to begin with. I’m grateful to have peace.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I love this question. I would first pick my younger self up and give her a meaningful hug! I would remind her that faith and knowledge can move mountains that grit and hard work cannot. I would tell her more about how powerful kindness is, despite how unkind life can be to all of us.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. How do you differentiate between fads and real foundational shifts?
In my experience, fads get WAY more attention from consumers than foundational shifts. Some consumers know the difference — some don’t! One cool thing about fads is that you can use a fleeting trend to bring attention to something you want to grow into a bigger cultural movement. I differentiate fads and shifts by analyzing the origin of the fad or studying the demographic that keeps the fad alive. There are so many voices to listen to — and filter out — in today’s market. A foundational shift is something any entertainer should focus on if they want to make a lasting impact with their legacy.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
The most important thing people might misunderstand about my legacy is how difficult it’s been to maintain it. Challenges include technology advancements, financial hardships, and countless haters — lol. Also, people might underestimate my definition of success. A lot of folks think everyone’s definition of success is the same. Most of my music dreams have come true after 20 years of working to keep my music afloat… despite not being famous or well-known to the average consumer. When I first started this career, I was a teenager and didn’t expect much success early on. I thought people misunderstood me. I thought they didn’t hear me or pay attention to what I was building. Over time, I gained more experience — and acceptance — toward the lack of support, even though I was heard the first 100+ times. Some people didn’t have the means to support, or didn’t have the desire to support in ways that could help move my brand forward. Even though I am taking a break, I pray over my brand and my legacy. I pray for a brand that won’t be forgotten because of the positive impact it made. I pray my legacy won’t be erased from the technology we know today, or tainted by entities that don’t want brands like mine to have the opportunity to reach a success that outlives them.
