With a voice that lingers long after the last note fades, Sienna Spiro is more than just a rising star – she’s a storyteller, weaving raw emotion and intimate confessions into every song. At just 19, the London-based singer-songwriter has already built a powerful presence, amassing millions of streams and captivating audiences with her distinctive blend of soul, R&B and pop.
Sienna’s journey began in quiet moments of self-discovery, writing songs from a young age of 10. But it was her spine-tingling cover of Donald Glover’s Redbone – which racked up over 6.7 million views on TikTok – that first revealed the sheer magnetism of her voice. That moment of viral recognition wasn’t just a fleeting spark; it was the ignition of something much bigger. When she finally introduced the world to her own music, the response was instant. From the hypnotic allure of her debut single Need Me to the vulnerable, aching ballad Maybe., Sienna’s ability to translate emotion into melody has earned her nods from the likes of SZA and Snoh Aalegra, as well as chart placements across Denmark, Sweden, Norway and the UK.
Now, with the release of her highly anticipated debut EP on February 21st, Sienna steps fully into her artistry. Featuring the passionate defiance of Need Me, Back to Blonde and a collection of unreleased gems, this body of work cements her as a voice impossible to ignore. It’s not just music – it’s an invitation into her world, where heartbreak, self-discovery and resilience come alive in every lyric.
Fresh off a sold-out headline show at Hoxton Hall and celebrating one million streams for Back to Blonde, Sienna Spiro is ready for the next chapter. If her path till now is any sign, this is just the start.
1. Who is Sienna Spiro?
Still trying to work that out.
2. Three words that sum up your vibe?
Stubborn. Passionate. Honest.
3. Which artists had the biggest influence on you growing up?
My dad used to play the greats – Frank Sinatra, Nina Simone, Etta James, Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye and Sara Vaughn in the house all the time and that’s really what started my love for music.
4. What can fans expect from your new EP?
They can expect a really intimate project, where I feel they can get to know me on a personal level but also discover their own meanings within the songs. The EP is also split into two sections with ‘sink’ songs and ‘swim’ songs so I feel there’s something in there for everyone.
5. What do you hope fans take away from this EP?
I hope they take away whatever they are needing at this moment in their life. I also intentionally kept the music stripped back, so people can focus on the real song and get to know me better.
6. What has been your career highlight so far?
Definitely my headline show in November. That was really an insane unmatched experience which I’ll never forget.
7. How does TikTok influence your creative process?
I don’t think TikTok influences my creative process, but it definitely is a sounding board and a place of discovery which I think is amazing.
8. What are your fashion Ins and Outs for this year?
I think that dressing whatever way you want is in and personally I can’t see any more leopard print!
9. Which song on this EP was the most challenging for you to write? Why?
All of them came about quite naturally but Origami was a really tough one to finish. I almost gave up on it at one point, I re-recorded it five times and just didn’t feel right about it for so long, however, I knew it felt good to sing live so we stripped it back and I feel proud of it now.
Dream collab?
Well… Anderson Paak & Tyler The Creator have always been big ones for me. However, Doechii is really about to be one of the greats and I’d love to collab with her aswell.
