Sydney Agudong
Born and raised on the island of Kaua‘i, Sydney Agudong is an actress and singer-songwriter who followed her dreams from a small island to the big screen. Her career began with guest appearances and lead roles in popular TV shows and indie films such as “At Her Feet”, “On My Block”, and “NCIS”, among others. Through years of hard work and dedication, Sydney landed the role of Nani in Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch, which became a worldwide box office hit and the first film of 2025 to reach $1 billion with a sequel currently in development. Shortly after filming Lilo and Stitch, Sydney booked a lead role in the new Lionsgate hit drama TV series, “Ripple”, which was released on Netflix in early December 2025, and has earned the Top 10 spot on Netflix for several consecutive weeks.
In addition to acting, Sydney is a singer- songwriter and developing artist. She released her debut original song, “Welcome to Hollywood”, under the artist name “Jayne Doe” in 2022 and continues to create new music. Through hard work, creativity, and perseverance, Sydney hopes to inspire students to believe in themselves, embrace where they come from, and chase their dreams—no matter how far or big they may seem.
