A household name in the bass music community, fknsyd has toplined for the likes of RL Grime, REZZ, Hex Cougar, SLANDER, and many more. Collaborating with these top-tier artists, fknsyd is the powerful voice behind originals such as “Silo” and infectious covers such as “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”.
Additionally, she has appeared on the prominent labels of Gud Vibrations, Heaven Sent, and Nest HQ, while gaining over 350,000 monthly listeners on Spotify alone. Now she is ready to evolve from being a “featured artist” to a revered solo performer.
fknsyd’s first step on this new phase in her journey is to showcase her one-of-a-kind style. There’s no better way to accomplish this than for fknsyd to drop her inaugural mixtape, Taste.test. Speaking on the compilation, fknsyd says,
“‘Taste.test’ is a compilation of songs I made over the last year or two. With my personal music, I do everything myself, and I don’t feel overly confident about most of the skills involved in that process. As much as I’d like to only share things I feel completely satisfied with, I don’t think it needs to be that serious, and I realize whatever that standard is for me will be ever-changing. It doesn’t make me happy to stockpile a bunch of music. I admire people who share their art, so to me, this is a step in the direction of feeling more comfortable doing that.”
Opening with “New Evils”, a tantalizing track centered around fknsyd’s chilling vocals, Taste.test encompasses nine rivetings songs in total. Another stand-out is “Twist My Arm”. This song’s beat is simple and mesmerizing, taking listeners on a celestial adventure. At the heart of “Twist My Arm” is fknsyd’s spellbinding lyrics and captivating effects. Lastly, “Sedation” closes the mixtape with cinematic soundscapes and reality-distorting synths.
Altogether, Taste.test is an auditory marvel that marks the beginning of a promising solo career for fknsyd.
Raised in upstate New York, I was always a big fan of music but never really listened to electronic music. Within the first month of attending Florida State University and meeting some new friends, I was introduced to the rave scene. After seeing Ekali at my first show, I was instantly hooked. Since then, I have dived into every subgenre of electronic music, picked up DJing, and mixed for clubs and different entertainment events in Tallahassee. Once graduating with degrees in marketing and hospitality, I was hired for a sales position. However, I recently decided to leave my sales job to pursue my dream of working in the music industry. Currently, I run Magnetic Magazine's Melodic Techno Charts, along with my role as a PR and marketing specialist for different artists and labels. Some of my favorite artists are REZZ, Kyle Watson, TOBEHONEST, San Pacho, Josh Baker, HUGEL, ARTBAT, Vintage Culture, Ganja White Night, CamelPhat, Green Velvet, Jungle, Milky Chance, Paco Versailles, Franc Moody, and RÜFUS DU SOL. My favorite festivals are Hulaween (by far), EDC Orlando, and all the different venues during Miami Music Week. Outside of music, I love sports (especially hockey, soccer, tennis, basketball, and spike ball), going to the movies, working out, sushi, Chick-fil-A, food in general, and hanging with my dog Maui and my cat Loki. Feel free to reach out to me via my email or on IG, I love expanding my network of friends and business opportunities!
