WAMFest Focus: Sydnee Carter

Answered by: Sydnee Carter — Vocalist, guitarist

Give us a short description of your music: Julia Stone meets Ed Sheeran! My style is my own but most likened to Vance Joy.

What is the best thing that's happened to you/your band so far? Performing at Music Matters Singapore. It gave me a fantastic opportunity to perform with a band for the first time, meet and get to know musicians and industry players on a national and international level.

Has the party side of the music industry been all you were hoping for so far in your career? I've not long been in the 18-plus club and as a self-confessed 'gym junkie' it's all pretty new. The opportunity to now move in a more experienced music crowd is invaluable.

What industry lessons would you like to take away from WAMFest? How to approach significant key players effectively to achieve results in furthering my career and the processes in the industry that will help me to reach my goals.

What acts are you looking forward to checking out at WAMFest? So much choice and so little time! But I really want to catch the great sound of Stillwater Giants.

Why should people come and see you from amongst the many cool bands at WAMFest? I am told my voice is unique and my music is best described as a mix of acoustic/indie-pop. So anyone looking to hear something different on offer should definitely come and check out my sound.

When and where is your WAMFest gig? 5 Nov, Perth Institute Of Contemporary Arts
