CNY Pride is grateful to share that a portion of the proceeds from purchases and streams of The Colors Between by SYR Candyman will be donated to CNY Pride through the end of June.

SYR Candyman is a genre-blending music project inspired by nostalgia, imagination, and the colorful energy of an old-fashioned candy shoppe. Mixing elements of dance, disco, pop, country, funk, and electronic music, SYR Candyman creates songs that feel playful, emotional, and larger than life. From upbeat tracks about gummy worms, chocolate bars, penny candy, and dancefloors to deeper songs exploring loneliness, connection, and self-worth, the music balances fun storytelling with genuine emotion.

Drawing inspiration from vintage candy stores, retro nightlife, family traditions, and modern pop production, SYR Candyman builds vivid musical worlds filled with sweetness, humor, and heart. Each release often features bold visual album art and cinematic themes that bring the songs to life beyond the music itself. Whether it’s a high-energy dance anthem, a heartfelt duet, or a quirky novelty track, SYR Candyman delivers music designed to spark memories, make people smile, and remind listeners what it feels like to be a kid again.

By listening, purchasing, or pre-saving the music, you’ll not only be supporting an independent local artist, but also helping support CNY Pride and our mission to uplift and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community across Central New York.

Listen, purchase, or pre-save here:

A sincere thank you to SYR Candyman for choosing to support CNY Pride and our community this Pride Month! ❤️🧡💛
