John Sierra

Since his teenage years, songwriting has been John's way of processing loss, hurt, and longing. However, in his early 20s, he chose the "safer" path of playing guitar for the alt-rock band Attalus (Facedown Records), setting aside his dream of being a solo artist. Fear of failure and self-doubt led him to hide, and eventually, his life fell apart through addiction, costing him relationships, the band, and his dream. He even sold all his music gear, except for his father's acoustic guitar. Through therapy and faith, John found healing, began mending relationships, and rediscovered his passion for songwriting. In the past four years, he's released his first acoustic EP, performed over 300 shows, and become a Grammy voting member and NSAI coordinator. His latest single is the first in an 8-song release cycle over the next few months.
