'Caught In Between' by Sidney Bowen

I am a 13 year old singer/songwriter making my way through the music industry one step at a time, while trying to find myself and be a voice for tweens/teens who are 'Caught in Between'...

I am a 13 year-old eighth grader living in Orange County.  I am a singer/songwriter navigating my way through the music industry as well as life as a teenager.

I noticed that my friends and I were experiencing a new feeling based on our coming of age: being caught in between kids and young adults and all the frustrations associated with that place.  I wanted to write about what I was noticing and feeling and put it to music.  

So with my song and lyrics roughly finished, I met with a song writer and coach in L.A., Dave Woeckener, http://www.myfreeandclearmusic.com/Welcome.html, so he could help me to finish the song and the arrangement.  The song and video for 'Caught In Between' were released late in May on itunes. www.sidneybowen.com

Along with writing music, I was in a local band called WhipLash Kids Band for almost 3 years.  We performed mostly 70‘s and 80‘s rock covers at over 40 venues and were nominated at the OC Music Awards 2012.  I felt like I needed to pursue my own music, so I decided to start a new project and join my friend, Sky Green, www.skygreenmusic, in a new acoustic band, where current covers and original music are a priority. 

We are called Sidney & Sky, http://www.facebook.com/SidneyAndSky, and we had our first performance last weekend at Moulton Elementary’s Boo Blast. We are very excited about our next performance on November 3rd at the Fusion Music Fest in Agoura Hills Paramount Ranch, http://www.fusionmusicfest.us, where the infamous Cherry Bomb is headlining.
