SIERRA LEVEQUE
Sierra Levesque is a 17-year-old Rock artist from Pembroke, Ontario, Canada and her goal is to help lead the NEW GENERATION of Rock 'N Roll. Sierra is a singer/songwriter, and she also plays guitar, piano, bass, and drums. Sierra has been described as a combination of Ann and Nancy Wilson, with the powerful voice of Ann and the skilled, catchy guitar playing of Nancy.
Sierra’s love for Rock music came from listening at a very young age to many Classic Rock and Heavy Metal bands from the 70s and 80s.
Her musical influences throughout the years have been Pop, Rock and Metal acts such as Avril Lavigne, Ghost, Heart and Scorpions.
Having won the 2019 and 2022 MyFM Spirit Award for "Best Local Musician" in Pembroke, Sierra has already gained notoriety from large media outlets, as well as from some powerful figures in the Rock music industry including Nancy Wilson (Heart), Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal (Sons Of Apollo, Asia, ex Guns 'N Roses), DJ Ashba (SIXX A.M, ex Guns 'N Roses), Desmond Child (Songwriter for Bon Jovi, Joan Jett, KISS), and Mark Slaughter (Slaughter) to name a few.
Sierra always hits the stage in her signature look of Doc Martens boots, a leather jacket, and a flashy guitar. She hopes to use her original music to provide a voice for those who feel like outsiders, and to re-light the flame of Rock 'N Roll in society today.
