SYML is the solo project of Brian Fennell, a singer-songwriter from Seattle, Washington. The name 'SYML', which means "simple" in Welsh, reflects the pure and heartfelt quality of his music. Fennell started his musical journey as part of the indie band Barcelona, but he debuted as SYML with an eponymous EP in 2016. His introspective lyrics and minimalist soundscapes quickly caught the attention of indie and alternative music fans around the world. Fennell's work as SYML features emotive piano, ethereal synthesizers, haunting melodies, and his gentle, soothing vocals.

Garnering widespread acclaim, SYML's evocative tracks have resonated deeply with audiences, leading to their use in television shows and movies, which further propelled his popularity. His recent releases, such as "Sentimental" and "My Best Self," showcase an artist who continues to evolve while retaining the emotional honesty that defines his music. SYML's ability to capture the complexities of the human experience has become his hallmark, with songs like "Where's My Love" and "The Day My Father Died" exemplifying the poetic candor that listeners have come to expect. Whether through intimate acoustic versions or atmospheric remixes, each new release invites fans into a reflective and deeply personal space, crafted with a vulnerability and finesse that has become synonymous with the SYML name.
