Sierra Marie Swan (born April 5, 1978) is an American musician. Swan's father is singer and guitarist Billy Swan. She was part of the duo Dollshead with Graham Edwards. Currently, she is involved in releasing solo work.
Career
As the daughter of 70s pop musician Billy Swan, Swan's love with music started at an early age. In 1997, Swan got together with Graham Edwards and Dollshead was formed. The band was signed and eventually dropped from MCA. She was a member of The Black Eyed Peas for about three months, before deciding to go solo.
In 2000 Swan was discovered by Anne Previn and Scott Cutler of Ednaswap. She wrote several songs with Previn and Cutler. In 2001, she was signed to Atlantic Records.
She completed the "Queen Of The Valley" LP (then titled "Queen of the Valley Girls"), but after being dropped from her label , Swan's CD was not released until 2008. The LP featured such producers as Chad Hugo (of The Neptunes) and Linda Perry (formerly of the musical group 4 Non Blondes).
Linda Perry worked with Swan on her next (and officially, her first) album, "Ladyland". The album included a duet with notable singer-songwriter Aimee Mann, titled "Get Down to It."
Swan released an EP entitled "Coward", available on iTunes only, in 2007. She has subsequently released songs via her Web site or via MySpace.
