SYML

American artist SYML, whose real name is Brian Fennell, has captivated audiences with his intimate and emotional music. Hailing from Seattle, he gained recognition for his unique blend of folk, pop, and electronic influences, crafting deep, atmospheric soundscapes.

His name, “SYML,” which means “simple” in Welsh, reflects both the simplicity of his melodies and the depth of his emotions. Since embarking on his solo career after fronting the band Motopony, SYML has explored universal themes like love, loss, and self-discovery. His soft, crystalline voice, accompanied by minimalist piano or subtle electronic sounds, sweeps listeners into an emotional journey that feels both personal and profound.

Songs like “Where’s My Love” and “The War” quickly became anthems of melancholic sweetness, their power lying in their ability to touch the soul. SYML has carved out a special place for himself on the contemporary music scene, with intimate, moving performances where every song seems to tell a unique, personal story.
