Sydney Mack has been in love with music since her mom played Naomi to her three-year-old Wynonna, singing, "Grandpa, Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days" in their family room. She has given music a lifetime of dedication, from her classical music education to stints as a Music Row intern while attending Nashville's Belmont University. On Season 14 of American Idol, Sydney was one of only 37 contestants from Nashville given a golden ticket to Los Angeles for Hollywood Week. The following year, she was voted into the NashNext Top 10, where Sydney and the rest of the Top 10 had the honor of going on tour with country artist, Raelynn. She has opened for country superstars such as Miranda Lambert, Florida Georgia Line, Brett Eldredge, Charlie Daniels and the legendary George Jones.
