Known as "the mentalist to the stars" (Forbes) for his work with celebrities, Sidney will leave you awed and enlightened from his combination of psychic and musical skills.

He has won numerous awards and honors for his music, and was a Composer Fellow at the Boston Symphony Orchestra's Tanglewood Music Festival.

In total, he has appeared on over 300 television shows nationally and also in numerous local markets, including over 50 featured appearances on the WGN MORNING NEWS in Chicago, and 12 guest spots on ABC-TV's WINDY CITY LIVE.
