The daughter of guitarist, Billy Swan, sultry-pop chanteuse Sierra Swan grew up with music in her soul. After her first major label duo Dollshead broke up, she spent her time creating new material for a solo record, collaborated with Chad Hugo of the Neptunes and also recorded some vocal tracks for the rock band Cold. But it was really only after she met singer-songwriter Linda Perry that she truly began to blossom. The two wrote and recorded Swan's debut solo effort, Ladyland, released on Interscope earlier this year in 2006. "Her voice will take you on an emotional journey," said Perry. "Beautiful, erotic, mesmerizing, captivating and suspenseful is everything that comes to mind when listening to Sierra Swan." For Swan, music was a way to cope with the hardships in her life, especially after her mother passed away. Her songs are honest and express a tenderness and vulnerability often missing in many contemporary artists. Performing her honest and personal music became the ultimate form of therapy. "I realized that performing is like a little high, and I guess you could say it's the healthiest drug I've ever done," confesses Swan.
