About
In New York Synia’s smooth, clear vocals were soon recognized, leading to session work with a number of performing and recording artists including Curtis Hairston, Lewis Caisson, Cookie Watkins, jazz harmonica player Will Galison and trombonist Henry Mitchell.

They also appeared at numerous colleges and festivals around the country and in Canada and Japan....
