In 2012, Shea collaborated with Darren producing the single 'Shame' for his raptronic protest band Embed alongside Yuval (Soul Coughing, Reprazent) on drums. The positive response and subsequent video prompted the recording of 'Gently', a trip hop song which proved to be the turning point and a new direction for the trio and eventually a new project We Are SYD was born.

Featuring Shea’s hauntingly beautiful vocals, lyrics and melodies, Darren’s unique keyboard production and Yuvals epic beats.

The 10 track debut album We Are SYD was written and produced at their West London studio. Recorded as a traditional live band, drums, keys and vocals mixing their eclectic styles from Dub, breaks, Hip and Trip hop to jungle beats with dark pulsing bass synth grooves and melancholic ambience plus powerful passionate songs.

The album We Are SYD poised for release 2019.
