SYML
SYML is the solo venture of Seattle artist Brian Fennell. Welsh for “simple”— he makes music that taps into the instincts that drive us to places of sanctuary, whether that be a place or a person.
Fennell’s latest offering, Nobody Lives Here, marks his clearest, crispest writing. Written, recorded, and produced by him and his longtime collaborator Brian Eichelberger, it is fueled by the keen understanding that life is a contradiction, a fleeting moment. But as we accept the presence of loss, we can still welcome others into our space with melody, lyrics, a slide guitar, or a cello’s hum. His sense of humanity is his musical compass. As an artist, Fennell takes license to both gut and be gutted. “If the dark inspires the good,that’s a good thing to be honest about,” he says.
He released his self-titled debut album in 2019, which includes the multi- platinum song “Where’s My Love” and the Gold Record fan favorite “Girl." His 2023 sophomore album, The Day My Father Died, described by NPR as “euphoric,” was recorded at Studio X with renowned producer Phil Ek and features collaborations with Elbow’s Guy Garvey, Lucius, Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek, and Charlotte Lawrence. His music has become the soundtrack to countless films and TV shows and was used by Lana Del Rey on the song “Paris, TX,” from her Grammy-nominated 2023 album.
With over four billion streams, the multi-platinum artist looks at grief, loss, mortality, and the passing of time directly in the eye, unwavering and harmonious.
In 2024, SYML launched the imprint, FIN. Recordings, a collaboration with his label, Nettwerk Music Group, and management Good Harbor Music
Roger Weeks
Roger Weeks is a songwriter and artist crafting intimate, emotionally rich songs that blend folk, indie-pop, and cinematic storytelling. Born and raised where the New Hampshire backwoods meet the lakeshore, his music is rooted in vulnerability, organic textures, and haunting melodies.
His debut album, What's the Worst That Could Happen?, released in May 2025, serves as a coming-of-age story exploring grief, first heartbreaks, and the search for identity following the loss of his Mother. His music has earned a growing audience online for its intimate songwriting and emotional resonance. With SYML producing his next project, Weeks is continuing to expand his sound into something even more immersive, deeply personal, and universally human.
