With over three billion lifetime streams, SYML (AKA Brian Fennell) —Welsh for “simple”—makes music that taps into the instincts that drive us to places of sanctuary, whether that be a place or a person. Born and raised in Seattle, Fennell studied piano and became a self-taught producer, programmer, and guitarist. He released his self-titled debut album in 2019, which included the platinum-selling song “Where’s My Love,” and the Gold Record fan favorite, “Girl”. This song is about getting older, for better and for worse. The idea that no single moment is repeatable is hard to understand. It’s gutting, but also hopefully encourages being present.
