In Focus brings you a talented upcoming artist that has earned a spot on our radar. We’re scoping out these rising stars from every city, style, and scene.
IN FOCUS: Sirah
WHO IS SIRAH? “She’s a badass and she raps.” – Skrillex
HAILING FROM: Los Angeles
DIG IT IF YOU LIKE? Macklemore, Action Bronson
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE? Fabulously purple-haired, ever-so-fly Sirah (pronounced “Sie-rah“) has just released her new music video for “My City,” a track from her free mixtape “C.U.L.T. Too Young to Die.”
Sirah is a total bamf. With hair that takes up almost as much space as Amy Winehouse‘s, she admitted (on the Grammy Award’s Thank You Cam) to recording the vocals for Skrillex’s “Bangarang” in her room…and then they won Best Dance Recording of 2012. Sirah is on the rise since her recognition for “Bangarang” on Rolling Stone and MTV’s Buzzworthy.
Sirah’s alluring rap-over-electo sound is worth listening to. Watch the video below to see how prett-ay her cit-ay is!
UPCOMING: If you’re heading down to SXSW this year, keep your eyes and ears open because Sirah will be showcased this year alongside some majors!
