ABOUT ALEX & SIERRA
Alex Kinsey and Sierra Deaton met on the beach in Florida when they were in high school, not realizing at the time that it was the fortuitous beginning of a musical journey. After auditioning with their sultry cover of Britney Spears’ “Toxic,” Alex & Sierra went on to become the first and only group to win the X Factor USA. The duo’s massive success on the show is highlighted by their stunning performances of “Say Something” and “Gravity,” which both immediately hit #1 on iTunes. Cited as one of the most highly anticipated debuts of 2014, the central Florida natives sold more than a million units of their X Factor repertoire, garnering over 2 million online fans and 85 million overall YouTube views during their ascent as one of the most buzzed-about pop duos in years. The duo’s debut single, “Scarecrow,” a rollicking folk pop stomper that perfectly melds the singers’ voices, was co-written by Alex & Sierra, along with Martin Johnson (Boys Like Girls) and Sam Hollander. “Scarecrow” is now available on iTunes, and their debut album ‘It’s About Us’ is set for release October 7th on Columbia Records/SYCO Music.
