Walking the Globe with SXMSIDY

Written by Alexandria Anglade

Born in France to a Senegalese father and a French mother. Upcoming artist SXMSIDY had the opportunity to travel to Africa a lot when he was younger which influenced his music.

How do you define success as an artist?

"In my opinion, success is linked to the emotions I try to convey through my music."

"When someone reaches out to you to let you know that your song has had a real impact on them or when a producer sends you a message because your work inspires them, it’s the best feeling in the world."

Where is your mindset currently at since the pandemic?

"It might sound a little bit odd to say this but the pandemic really helped me redefine my goals.

Before COVID, I was studying law."

"My priority has always been music but I was trying to do too many things at the same time. Then the pandemic struck and like anyone else, I didn’t have any choice but to stay at home. Therefore, I had plenty of time to work on music."

"Right now I’m just trying to stay focused on my passion, hone my skills, and maintain my pace of productivity."

Then after his time in Africa, SXMSIDY spent a couple of years in London and regularly moved to the US for long periods of time for his music career, and also because part of his family resides there.
