Sydney Agudong
Born and raised on Kaua’i, Hawai’i, Sydney Elizebeth Agudong is basically the definition of a multi-hyphenate. She’s that rare combo of actress and singer-songwriter, just casually starring as ‘Nani’ in Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch. Yeah, the one that shattered box office records in 2025, sprinting past $750 million worldwide and refusing to budge from the top spot for three weekends straight. Not too shabby.
But Sydney doesn’t just stick to one lane. Up next? She dives into the psychological thriller “Ether”—and she’s not only starring, she’s also flexing as an executive producer. Talk about wearing all the hats. Earlier in 2024, she wrapped filming in Toronto for “Ripple,” a Lionsgate TV series where she’s a regular. And there’s more—she’s taking the lead in “At Her Feet,” with supporting gigs in indie flicks like “Trapped in a Farm House” and “Infamously in Love.” Oh, and if she looks familiar, maybe you caught her as Charlize in season 4 of Netflix’s “On My Block” or guest-starring on “NCIS.”
Music-wise, Sydney’s not slacking. She’s teamed up with FR8 Train Music Publishing at Westlake Studios as a songwriter and top-liner, writing for sync and other artists. Dropped her debut single “Welcome to Hollywood” in 2022 under the name Jayne Doe, and it got some love from Earmilk, Sweetyhigh—those kinds of places. Tons of new tracks on the way, apparently. She’s repped by Gersh, AEFH, Trilogy Talent, and attorney Howard Fishman. Basically, she’s everywhere right now.
