SYRYN RECORDS is one of the Amplify Arts Projects's (previously Girls Rock Santa Barbara)! year-round youth programs. It launched in the summer of 2020 with the help of a handful of ambitious teen interns and their amazing mentors and culminated in a compilation project featuring 7 youth artists. Since then, we have signed a formal deal with an amazing artist and will be building our roster to include a host of new artists in the Fall of 2022! Our label departments are staffed with aspiring young professionals ages 15-22 years old and guided by industry professionals with years of experience in the business. Through the power of art and music (fun fact: just about every teen label executive is also an artist!), the cohort work together to envision and manage a label that puts female and gender expansive artists at the forefront of their creative journey.

WHO CREATED THE LABEL?
Syryn Records is a youth-run record label created and owned by Girls Rock Santa Barbara, a non-profit organization that empowers girls, women, and gender-expansive individuals through music education, the creative arts, community, and positive mentorship. The work coming out of the label is completely youth-created, from initial brainstorming to final publishing, with the support and encouragement of our adult mentors. The youth running the label are artists, musicians, dancers, activists, and creative beings of so many unique genders, bodies, and personalities. 

WHEN IS THE NEXT RELEASE DATE FOR YOUR ARTISTS' MUSIC?
Our first cohort released their music in July 2020. In October 2022, we are super excited to be launching the single for our newly signed artist, Heaven! We also plan to release our compilation featuring a new cohort of artists in November 2022!

WHO DO YOU SIGN?
We sign girls, women, and gender-expansive artists ages ~15 to 25 from all genres that are passionate about their music and connect to our mission of uplifting young women and gender expansive folks in the music industry. We work with artists to develop their artistry and provide knowledge and resources to help them level up! 

ARE YOU CURRENTLY SIGNING NEW ARTISTS?
We accept artist submissions throughout the year and run two campaigns a year to scout artist for compilation records that feature 8-13 artists. Our Fall compilation album is dropping in November and we are looking forward to sharing the amazing talent we have discovered at Syryn. If you're interested, you can apply directly on our website and send samples of your music. We accept fully-produced songs, demos, and even voice recordings, in mp3 format. Our A&R department cannot wait to listen! 

HOW OLD ARE YOUR ARTISTS?
We sign young women and gender-expansive youth ranging from ages ~15-25 years old! 

WHAT PLATFORMS CAN I FIND THE ARTISTS ON?
Our cohorts' singles will be available on all major streaming platforms including iTunes, Spotify, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and Deezer! We will also be selling our compilation as an NFT and vinyl album to benefit our programming, as well as the artists on the record! Be on the lookout for more music coming this Fall! 

WHO MADE THE ART FOR YOUR WEBSITE?
