1. Before we start could you please introduce yourself to our readers?
Hey! My name is Sienna and I'm a recording artist from Long Island, NY. I
recently released my debut solo album, "Steps." I had an awesome time
recording this project and I'm currently touring and promoting it.
2. How would you describe your music to someone who hasn't heard it before?
Soulful pop/r&b with a positive message
3. What is something you stand for and strongly believe it?
I definitely believe in being your own person. Most of the media today has
a negative impact on teens. We need to be positive role models for people to
look up to. Too many people today are compromising their morals and values
in order to be accepted by "the world."
4. What is your biggest dream for your music career?
I would have to say that my biggest dream is to have a positive impact of
peoples lives. I want to touch hearts for God and show them that He is so
very real in their lives.
5. Do you write any of your songs? If so, what do you enjoy writing about
the most?
I did not write the songs on my "Steps" but I am CO-writing some new stuff.
I like to write about everyday things in life that people go through and can
relate to. My songs are based on my faith and whatever God puts on my heart,
I share through my music.
6. On your album is there a particular song that is your favorite? Could
you tell us a little about it?
Hmmmm. It's hard to choose because there are a few favorites! If I had to
choose one I guess it would be "Falling in Love." It's about a pure love
that sustains all things. Loving deeper and truer.
7. Tell us about a typical day in your life?
It's nuts! I work a day job as a medical assistant in a pediatric doctors
office. So I go to work from 8:30-5:30. Then it's off to the gym, come
home and work on my music career by either networking and booking gigs or
CO-writing songs with other writers. I'm also a youth director at my church
so one night a week I go there. It's a crazy schedule but I love every bit
of it!
8. I love 'It's me who leaves', could you tell us a little more about the
meaning and story behind that song?
That was another one of my favorites! It's about how sometimes we choose to
leave God but He never leaves us. We can't make it on our own, He is always
there in everything that we go through.
9. Where could we buy a copy of your album, is it in stores?
You can buy it on my web site: www.siennamusic.com, www.cdbaby.com,
www.thespiritradio.com, it is also available in Long Island, NY at Borders
Books, Family Christian Stores, and other local Christian bookstores as
well.
10. You've had parts in Broadway productions. Which would have been your
favorite?
I think the best was when I was in a musical called
"Praise/Motion. It was all song and dance and the music was pop/r&b. It
really allowed me to be myself as an artist.
11. Is there any person in the music industry you'd really like to work
with?
I would love to work with Michael W. Smith. He's always been a favorite of
mine because of his values as a person and his message in his music. He is
so talented, down to earth and has a great sense of humor.
12. What is one country you hope your music career will allow you to visit?
London!
13. Your album is out, your single has made the Top 15 countdown on the
whitedoveradio.com. How are you feeling about it all?
I feel great! It's been an awesome experience and feels so good to know
that my God given talent and hard work has brought me this far. I can't wait
to see what else God has in store for the me!
14. Just to finish off, is there anything in particular you'd like to say
to the people reading this?
Thank you so much for all your love, prayers and support!!!! Don't
compromise your morals and values in order to be accepted by "the world."
Instead be your own role model and have the world look to you! :-)
