Synae (She/They) is a DMV-based singer/songwriter and music producer. Growing up, if they weren’t playing video games, they were writing songs in their room. In high school (2014), Synae began recording cover songs on YouTube, which you can still watch today. In 2020, Synae released her first EP, “Wild World, ” inspired by Nintendo’s Animal Crossing, which brought them international attention. The songs could best be described as gamer-pop and gamer-r&b.

“That seems to be Synae’s thesis: Fight back against a world not made for you with unbeatable joy and self-love. For a Black and queer artist, it’s a notion that takes on a deeper meaning…Synae’s poppy songs take a different approach, turning inward to find their own role in the movement.” –Sophia Solano, The Washington Post
