Coming out of Ontario, Canada, Sierra Levesque is a rising sensation in the rock world, set to lead the next wave of the genre for a new generation. A multi-talented musician who sings, shreds on the guitar and displays a command of piano, bass and drums, she distils a relentless passion for rock music into her thrilling artistic output.
Earning recognition for her work, Guitar.com dubbed her āGen Zās Most Ambitious New Guitaristā and she’s been celebrated as one of “10 Young Shredders Shaping Rock and Metal Today,” channeling the energy of classic rock while filtering it through her own modern lens. Throughout her life, Sierra has immersed herself in the sounds of 70s and 80s rock legends, drawing inspiration from bands like Heart, Scorpions and Ghost.
Her admiration for rock and metal is cut with the wider appeal of pop influences, particularly artists like Avril Lavigne, resulting in a sound that’s at once powerful and accessible. She’s also captured the attention of rock icons including Nancy Wilson of Heart, former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal and Desmond Child, songwriter for Bon Jovi and KISS.
First unveiling her sound in September last year, she dropped her debut single “GET OFF MY STAGE,” which she’s since followed up with a string of well-received tracks while clocking millions of spins on Spotify alone. Now she brings us her latest release with the new single titled “AUTHORITY,” a bold continuation of her mission to empower and inspire via a high-octane rock anthem that serves as a rallying cry for anyone who has felt sidelined or silenced.
Jumping straight in with a slick guitar riff, the distorted guitar tones and steady punch of drums are met by Sierra emphatic vocals as she spins gripping melodies and defiant lyricism above. Gliding with crunchy chords and lively percussion, her commanding voice lays down memorable hooks, resulting in an epic modern rock anthem that’s energising and empowering in equal measure.
With intricate lead guitar licks and production from Ron āBumblefootā Thal, the track delivers a driving blast of Sierra Levesque incredible sound. As she continues to go from strength to strength with each release, Sierra Levesque is fast becoming a torch bearer for rock music in the modern era and we can’t wait to see where her journey will take her next. Commenting on the single, she offers, “I wanted to create something that feels powerful and liberatingāsomething people can turn to when they wish they could stand up to any figure of authority.”
