Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Sxmsidy. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Sxmsidy, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?
My work ethic stems from the environment I grew up in, surrounded by hardworking family members. Observing my mother’s tireless commitment to her job, often picking me up late from school, taught me a crucial life lesson: achievement demands dedication and relentless effort. Despite feeling frustrated as a child, I now understand the invaluable importance of perseverance, a lesson I apply wholeheartedly to my music career.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
My name is Sxmsidy (pronounced Samsidy). I’m a singer, songwriter, and musician. While born in France, I’ve also lived in the UK and the US when I was younger. I am currently collaborating with a team in New York City.
Music has been my passion since childhood, offering a way to channel my energy and emotions. I was a bit of a turbulent kid, always trying to make sounds out of anything I could find. Recognizing my affinity for music, my teacher suggested it as a means for me to express myself and gain emotional control.
As an artist, my aim is to create music that deeply resonates with the soul.
I feel most at ease when crafting dark R&B music that delves into the complexities of life and explores the darker aspects of the human experience that we all carry within us.
In a society where self-expression can be stifled by fear of judgment, I strive to liberate individuals through my music. My mission is to empower people to shed their inhibitions, embrace their true selves, and discover the inherent beauty within. Hence, my motto: “Let’s let our souls express themselves.”
Excitingly, there’s more to come! I’m currently collaborating with a Grammy-nominated producer on new tracks that I can’t wait to share with my audience. Stay tuned for more soul-stirring music!
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Reflecting on my journey as a music artist, I’ve found dedication, consistency, and hard work to be three pivotal qualities. My advice to those early in their journey is to prioritize these qualities, as they lay the foundation for growth and success. Additionally, stepping out of your comfort zone is crucial, it fosters open-mindedness and the willingness to explore new possibilities, which are essential for artistic development.
What is the number one obstacle or challenge you are currently facing and what are you doing to try to resolve or overcome this challenge?
The first challenge that comes to mind as a music artist is finding inspiration for new material, particularly melodies that deeply resonate. To address this, I’ve learned the importance of actively experiencing life. Unlike some who can isolate themselves and write for extended periods, I need to engage with the world, embracing emotions and translating them into my music. This approach not only helps me overcome creative hurdles but also infuses my work with authenticity and depth.
