[edit] Career

Being born to Billy Swan, Sierra's love with music started at an early age. Her sister Planet is also a singer, and a major influence on Sierra learning to love the family trade. In 1997, Sierra hooked up with Graham Edwards and Dollshead was formed, signed and eventually dropped from MCA.[1] It was then that Sierra began her solo career. She was signed to Atlantic Records in 2001.[2] In 2006 she released an album with Interscope Records titled Ladyland.[3] She worked on this effort with singer-songwriter Linda Perry.[4]

[edit] Discography

Ladyland [5] is the debut solo album from Alternative/Indie artist Sierra Swan, the album has timid beats, almost hidden gutars, and piano driven criteria. In 2000 Sierra began her solo journey, where she soon would be discovered by Anne Previn and Scott Cutler from the band "Edna Swap", they overlooked her demos, and asked her if she would like to participate in writing together, interested she accepted. Soon "Queen Of The Valley" was born. At the time on Atlantic Records, she was soon dropped. Linda Perry had been one of the producers on the "Queen Of The Valley" record, and one day she called Ms. Swan up, and told her she was going to get her a deal at Interscope Records, and she did, then eventually came the marvelous Ladyland, releasing the single "Copper Red".
