As a kid in the Washington DC area, she sang in every choir that she could. She pored over lyrics back in the day when writing out the words to songs and passing them out to friends was a token of affection. After a steady diet of mainstream pop and R&B, followed by providing airy vocals to producers in DC’s burgeoning electronic scene, Sirena fell in love with the deliciously melancholic melodies of jazz and blues. After meeting musicians who were jetting back and forth across the pond, Sirena took the leap and found her footing as a singer songwriter performing in London's top jazz venues and festivals throughout Europe.

"Freedom is a wilderness
there's no beacon or North Star
you'll know that you are free
when you don't know where you are"

Now Sirena is stepping off the stage to focus on writing for other artists, sync licensing and the occasional feature. Collaboration is Queen for Sirena, who also serves as a model for innovative visual artists in the London arts scene. She's also an accomplished voice over artist with multiple credits including National Geographic and Audible. You can also hear her on the podcast, Assata's Chant and Other Histories - an anthology of interviews, readings, immersive storytelling and archive audio that tell stories of Assata Shakur and the Black Liberation Movement.
