“It all starts with an emotion,” explains songwriter/vocalist/producer Sierra Hurtt of the creative process that results in her timeless, passionate songs. With the release of her debut EP, 8 or 80, in 2009, Hurtt emerged as a fresh, new voice on the international scene. Establishing herself as one of the most versatile new voices in music today, she infused acoustic soul with pop sensibilities, while blending flavours from all of her favourite genres – latin, fado, celtic, jazz and rock – into an enticing cocktail. Delivered with her signature honey-tinged vocals, it proved to be a powerful combination. Her first single, Rooftops, features backing vocals from another musical family member, sister Gabrielle Hurtt as well as soul sensation, Vivian Green. The track earned her worldwide critical acclaim and garnered her fans in all four corners of the globe. Hurtt, however, is no stranger to the business. Born just outside Philadelphia, Hurtt recalls being surrounded by music at an early age. “My father has had a pretty successful career as a songwriter and producer, so I was fortunate to be immersed in a lot of creativity when I was a child.” With “cousins” like Sister Sledge and “uncles” like powerhouse vocalist and songwriter Bunny Sigler, not to mention her own father, Phil Hurtt, one would think her destiny as a musician was pre-determined. But Hurtt initially chose a different path. “Although I was always somehow involved with music, I went the theater route for a while.
