Born and raised on the island of Kaua’i, singer-songwriter Sierra Blax is an artist that brings the taste of island flavor to her music mixed with R&B and Soul. Her taste for moody and dark vocal melodies, is an entrance that helps build the path for her songwriting. During her years growing up in Hawai’i, she grew her craft through weekly singing lessons with Debbi Scarpell. It was then when she was introduced to Motown artist and music that helped shape her sound that she has today. After high school, she attended the music program at the University of Hawaii and studied vocal performance. She described her experience in music school as difficult and uneasy. “I had to learn how to sing a completely different way than how I was taught,- there were moments I really wanted to give up”. Fortunately, for Blax she didn’t.
During these times, Sierra grew inspiration to write songs about the wild experiences she would encounter in her early 20’s. “I wanted to write songs that were unapologetic, fun and audacious; we are so used to female singers sugar coating things, and I wanted to represent that change in my songwriting”. Blax wants to show people that it’s ok to make mistakes, embrace it and turn it into a comedy.
Today she is constantly inspired by indie artist that stay true to the music. She recognizes power-house female vocalist such as; Amy Winehouse, Adele and Joss Stone, for helping her find that artist in her. . Currently residing in Los Angeles, she is spending a lot of time in the studio writing and creating original music. Her newest single, “Loose Cannon”; a dark and moody tune about anxiety & depression, released on Dec. 6th 2019.
