Silly Syl

Looking back now, it makes perfect sense that Sylvia “Silly Syl” Parol has immersed herself in the art of DJing. A true millenial, Silly Syl began building her music library when she first got a computer with iTunes software in 2006. As a kid she collected CDs and downloaded free music from sites like MySpace, PureVolume, and LimeWire. Her favorite TV channels were VH1, MTV, and Fuse. She always kept a pen and notebook next to the couch to jot down her favorite songs. And she loved performing too. She took dance classes, sang in the choir, and performed in musical theater productions at school.

Silly Syl gave DJing a shot during senior year of college in 2014. Her expansive knowledge of music from a variety of genres such as pop, alt-rock, hip-hop, and electronic allowed her to perfectly cater sets to her audience. She loved the feeling of being on a stage and soaking up the spotlight. She became a campus favorite, and ending up joining entertainment entity DJs of Boston after graduation, where she held a residency at a downtown bar called Grand Canal.

Silly Syl now resides in the Bay Area, where she’s racked up gigs at QBar and the Cotton Pony Party at Neck of the Woods. She posts a monthly radio show on Soundcloud featuring guest DJs, and she hosts a weekly show on @TraklifeRadio Tuesday nights 6pm PST. She also writes articles for electronic music collective @massedmc and TickPick.
