Sydney Sarayeva

Sydney Sarayeva (she/her) is a Montreal-based DJ, songwriter, music producer, and trans activist known for her signature femme-forward tech house sound. After making her mark in Toronto’s underground and mainstage scenes, she has quickly become a fixture in Canada’s electronic festival and club scene.

Sydney's path is marked by breaking barriers, often stepping up as the first trans woman to not only play but headline these spaces. She has shared the decks with industry heavyweights like Danny Tenaglia at Rebel Toronto, headlined Electric Island, and plays various Pride festivals across Canada.

Sydney’s sets guarantee high energy, heavy bass, massive vocals, and a tangible audience connection. She specializes in bridging classic house and modern pop vocals with hard-hitting, driving tech-house basslines.

When Sydney steps into the booth, it’s about unapologetic glamour, self-expression, raw authenticity, and being a commanding presence, showing others like her, that anything is possible.
