Atlanta-born, LA-based artist Cydnee with a C is redefining the intersection of alt-pop, R&B, and liquid drum ‘n’ bass with her genre-bending new EP POV, out now via TH3RD BRAIN. Led by standout singles At Night, Love You Down, and Spend It, the six-track project explores themes of love, longing, and late-night introspection, delivering what SNIFFERS calls her “most vibrant and magnetic form.”
Cydnee first gained recognition in 2017 through features on Trippie Redd’s A Love Letter To You 2, before finding her voice as a solo artist with her 2023 debut Confessions Of A Fangirl. That release—a heartfelt ode to fandom culture—blended Jersey Club, R&B, and D’n’B into a sugar-rushed sonic palette, earning praise from Paper, Nylon, and Bandcamp, and racking up over 3 million streams.
Now, with POV, Cydnee continues to expand her kaleidoscopic sound, pulling from her deep love of K-pop and underground electronic music to craft immersive, emotionally charged pop at high BPMs. The rollout—complete with surprise pop-ups, exclusive merch, and upcoming performances in LA, New York, London, and Seoul—cements her as one of the most exciting new voices on the global alt-pop and drum ‘n’ bass scene.
What’s the story you’re telling with your new EP POV?
My first dnb project was called confessions of a fangirl an POV is the perspective of a fangirl that loves music that makes you feel good. Hence my love for kpop cause it makes you feel good! I take stuff like forgiveness, heartbreak, and toxic situations and make it into sounds and feel good. Positive perspective.
If someone is hearing your music for the first time, what’s the one track they should start with to really understand who you are as an artist?
Cry Alone- its my first ever dnb record and i feel like so many can relate to the happy sad feeling that song has.
Your music blends K-pop influences with drum ‘n’ bass and R&B in a way that feels fresh and unexpected. What elements of K-pop inspire you the most—whether in production, performance, or the connection with fans?
I love that kpop takes serious and dope concepts and make them into a whole feel good experience. I love the melodies and concepts and i like to make my songs with those things in mind. And for the songs to feel good even if someone doesnt know what im saying.
Drum ‘n’ bass has a rich underground history, while K-pop thrives on global fandom. You sit at the intersection of both—where do you see the future of music and global pop colliding?
I see myself touring internationally and collaborating with kpop artist! I can see a record with myself, a hispanic artist, and a kpop artist! That would be so worldly and cool!
When you’re in the studio, what’s the one thing that always anchors your music, no matter the genre?
I love to freestyle and thats the number thing i always go by when creating. Because when you freestyle what comes out is real and original like its from god. lol.
What's your favorite/least favorite thing about making music?
I engineer and mix all of my music and i love getting free and creating but sometimes the mixing becomes too overwhelming.
