Sierra Stone

Sierra Stone is a bold new voice rising from the quiet farmlands of North Dakota to the glittering chaos of Los Angeles. With her debut single Toxic, she delivers a rebellious pop-punk anthem capturing the essence of transformation and freedom. Inspired by the poetic lyricism of Lana Del Rey and Amy Winehouse as well as the electrifying energy of 80s rock, Sierra’s sound transcends genre boundaries, blending nostalgia with a fiercely modern edge. Now finishing her first EP, she has crafted a collection of songs that embody reinvention, power, and the beauty of imperfection.

Sierra’s artistic journey began at seven with dance classes and piano lessons, sparking a deep love for music and performance. She taught herself to sing and gradually added saxophone and guitar to her repertoire. After studying fashion at North Dakota State University and a brief stint in the industry, she embraced her true calling, enrolling at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood to master production, songwriting, and music business. Her visuals reflect her bold identity: neon lights and graffiti-covered alleys meet femme fatale allure and the freedom of SoCal’s palm-lined roads. Sierra Stone is a force of nature, unapologetically herself, and unafraid to burn away the past to rise stronger than ever.
