Sydney Lyndella Ward (born November 30, 1990), known professionally as Sunny War, is an American singer and songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee. Her sound is frequently categorized as folk punk,[1] while her songwriting is often described as introspective. Her songs blend rock, gospel, and country music.[2] She began her music career in 2014 with the release of her extended play Worthless, but garnered mainstream attention and critical praise after the release of her 2020s albums.[3][4]
Sydney Lyndella Ward was born in Nashville, Tennessee, to a single mother on November 30, 1990.[5][a] At age 7, her mother bought her a guitar, and she took classes on the piano and the harmonica.[9] When she was in middle school, she moved from Tennessee to California. She taught herself to play the guitar from watching and mimicking how her friend's father played the banjo, which resulted in her distinctive finger picking style.[1][10]
