Best known as a fiddle virtuoso who breezes through every style of music with stunning ease, Sierra's breadth of playing experience is impressive despite her young age. Her talent has taken her around the world where she has played in countries in Asia, Europe and North America. She grabs her audiences with compelling contemporary performances which feature exceptional instrumentals, beautiful vocals, and her infectious and unforgettable down to earth charm.


Never one to rest on her laurels, it is no surprise that 19 year old Sierra wants to expand and develop her musical talents. With a new EP to her credit, aptly named "Possibilites", Sierra's journey as a singer-songwriter is off to a very promising start. Her voice is a study in gorgeous contradictions - youthful and pure yet layered with subtle, smoky tones. Her songs speak of universal themes of love, longing and discovery wrapped in infectious melodies and delivered with sincerity and conviction.
Audiences will be delighted to know that Sierra does not abandon her first love on this disc – it also features two instrumentals - including a compelling duet with special guest Ashley MacIsaac. She has created an atmosphere where stunning instrumentals and hook laden acoustic-pop songs exist in perfect harmony.


Sierra dedicates much of her time to various causes, from her involvement with the global fight to ban landmines, her work with welcoming war-affected refugee families to Canada, as well as programs for inner-city youth in Winnipeg, all in an effort to make the world a better place. She has been presented with many humanitarian and volunteer awards for her substantial accomplishments including the Inaugural Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal but Sierra’s greatest satisfaction comes not from awards but from seeing the changes in people’s lives and the impact that the voices of youth can make in the world. It is no surprise that much of Sierra’s inspiration comes from the words of Gandhi., "You must be the change that you wish to see in the world."
