Sydney Ellen is a guitarist, songwriter, and live performer, hailing from Southern California.

A multi-faceted prodigious musician, Sydney was first a trained pianist at age five. Growing up listening to Classic Rock and being heavily influenced by the performance style of Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Sydney expanded her musical talent to the guitar, and soon after discovered her love for songwriting. Sydney attended the prestigious Berklee College of Music, graduating Summa Cum Laude, and after two decades of curating her skills, still dedicates herself to perfecting her craft every single day.

No stranger to the stage, Sydney has years of experience performing Classic Rock, Metal, Hard Rock, Funk, Motown, and Pop, but perhaps her greatest skill is her ability to perform on stage with an enviable sense of ease - a skill that has left her decorated with numerous awards as one of the top rising female guitarists in the rock scene. Sydney's music has recently been featured on 95.5 KLOS and more recently, Nikki Sixx's radio show - Sixx Sense. Sydney has also worked with top brands like Barbie, Mattel, Hilton, EMG Pickups, Bones Coffee, and more.

As a Fender Play Instructor for over six years, Sydney has contributed significantly to the Fender Play curriculum, developing courses for guitar and ukulele, writing scripts for fellow instructors, and performing on-camera for Fender Play and Marketing video shoots. 

Through her work at Fender, she discovered a passion for helping others find the joys of learning an instrument. Sydney loves improving her abilities as a coach like developing new approaches to learning and memory, discovering techniques and skills through songs, and redefining the meaning of “practice” in our daily routine. Fueled by the belief that anyone can play guitar, Sydney has also worked with individuals with nerve damage, cochlear implants, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Her latest original music releases, “Imperfect” and “Purpose,” can be found on all streaming platforms, featuring some of the most talented up-and-coming women in music.

Andrea Zermeno was born in Los Angeles, California and was exposed to music at a very early age. Her family always had something tasty on the turntable. She studied under the guidance of legendary session bassist Carol Kaye. Besides playing in Thundherstruck, she is currently continuing her music education to include slap/pop, funk, voice leading, harmony, theory and pick playing as well.

Andrea says, "Funny how I ended up seeing the world playing AC/DC when my first love love of bass comes from the musical stylings of the Motown era - with James Jamerson being among one of my favorites. But if you really listen to AC/DC it definitely calls for some swing feel! Especially the Bon Scott era."
