Swan's father is singer, songwriter and guitarist Billy Swan who in 1962 had his first hit "Lover Please" when he was just 16. During Sierra's many nights backstage while her father played rhythm guitar for Kris Kristofferson, she conjured up her own dreams of becoming a professional musician.

Career:
As the daughter of 70's country and pop musician Billy Swan, Swan's love with music started at an early age. As a teenager, Sierra listened to Prince, Queen, Oingo Boingo, The Beatles, Grant Lee Buffalo, Mozart and Patsy Cline. It was Patsy Cline who inspired her singing career. When she was 16 she began playing at coffeehouses in Los Angeles. Swan also had influences from Tori Amos.
In 1997, Swan got together with Graham Edwards and Dollshead was formed. The band was signed and eventually dropped from MCA.1 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. 2
She completed the Queen Of The Valley LP (then titled Queen of the Valley Girls3), but after being dropped from her label 4, 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)5.
Linda Perry worked with Swan on her next (and officially, her first) album, Ladyland6. The album included a duet with notable singer-songwriter Aimee Mann, titled "Get Down to It." and features additional production work by Bill Bottrell. Linda Perry has quoted the following about Swan. "Beautiful, erotic, mesmerizing is everything that comes to mind when listening to Sierra Swan. Her voice will take you on an emotional journey."
Swan released an EP entitled Coward, available on iTunes only, in 2007. She has subsequently released songs via her Web site or via MySpace. Her albums are available on iTunes. Artist: Sierra Swan
