Known for her
jaw-dropping performances on the TV phenomenon American Idol (FOX),
singer/songwriter Jessica Sierra is a young woman triumphant these days. With
the release of her new single, “Enough,” Sierra will once again share her
incredible talents with fans and critics alike. Drawing upon the many ups and
downs Sierra has experienced in her life, the single stands as an emotional
declaration of power and resilience, and paves the way for her
highly-anticipated album. Press Release:
American Idol Jessica Sierra Celebrates Childbirth, Sobriety, and Singing Once
known as the “fallen American Idol,” 24-year-old Jessica Sierra is a young
woman triumphant these days. With two years of sobriety under her belt, she
recently celebrated the birth of her new baby boy, Kayden Cash, on December 5,
2009. Now Jessica is back in the studio doing what she does best, singing!
Under new management with Elite B Management, and working with producer
Sebastian Evans II, her new CD will showcase her covering ballads, rock and
R&B as only she can! Her single release, “Enough,” slated to drop
soon, displays her trademark powerhouse vocals and rocks with the heart-felt
emotion of one who has risen new heights after experiencing the depths of
despair. As an “American Idol,” Jessica performed all over the world. A Top Ten
finalist, she toured nationally with fellow contestants, including appearances
at the Coca-Cola 600, an extensive Simon Mall concert tour, and the 44 city,
sold out American Idol arena tour. The American Idol Showstoppers album
featured her single “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and was certified Gold by the
RIAA. When America last saw Sierra, it was 2008. She had completed an entire
season of VH-1′s “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” seemingly to no avail.
The former Season 4 contestant shocked and disappointed her fans around the
world when she pleaded “no contest” to assault and cocaine possession charges
in a courtroom in her native city of Tampa, FL, just months prior to the show’s
airing. Happily those dark days are now long gone. Today, when not in the
studio, Jessica is busy keeping youth from the path she traveled, motivating
kids via her work with the Santa Anita Family Services Center in Monrovia, CA.
“As a former American Idol I realize that I was a role model to millions of
kids who aspire to achieve the success I attained. I was anything but a role
model for a long time, but hope that my life lessons will deter someone else
from the path of fast living and drug abuse. My voice is a gift and I am
overjoyed to be given the opportunity to share it again. Music has always been
a grounding and healing force in my life,” reveals Jessica. “I hope that it
once again inspires others.” Jessica Sierra is a true “American Idol.” She
embodies the spirit of a courageous warrior. She has soared the heights of
success and pummeled to the lowest degrees of despair, only to rise again. With
her new found sobriety and new baby, Jessica Sierra has a new song in her heart
and America can sing along with her once again!
