Sienna-Rose Jerak has a voice well beyond her years, and is a name in the pop music industry you’ll want to watch out for.

The 14-year-old singer from Australia released a pair of singles called “You Got Me” and “To Fly,” which showcases her vast range and ability to fill the air with her powerful vocals.

“You Got Me” is a love song about liking someone so much, and not being sure if they like you back. She said it can be super confusing and drive you crazy with the hot and cold, and Jerak brings this out in the music.

“You feel like you’re wrapped up in their games and you don’t know how to get out,” Jerak said. “And you keep going back to them. It’s basically about not having that experience or insight to work out if you like them as much as they like you.”

In the song, “You Got Me,” Jerak said she feels lucky because the way the vocals were recorded gives a “very live feel.” She works with a song writing and production team that includes Grammy winners Jordan Omley and Michael Man, who have been mentors to her in the process.

“They’ve really inspired me to be my best self,” Jerak said. “They are really kind, so it’s great to work in that kind of environment.”

Jerak is a fan of music that came out even before she was born, saying that she listens to the likes of Brandy, Carrie Underwood, Jessica Simpson and Monica. This inspiration bleeds into “You Got Me,” as well.

“I love old ‘90s music,” she said. “It’s got a lot of soul to it compared to music now. I take from a lot of life experiences, as well, when I sing. I try to make my music relatable.”

While “You Got Me” shows off her skills as an Pop/R&B singer, “To Fly” is much more of a ballad. Releasing both ends of the spectrum was intentional, as listeners will be able to get some variety of where her talents lie.

“In a pop song, they can’t really hear too much of the runs,” she said. “For a ballad you can be free and express yourself.”

Jerak has been involved in acting, singing and dancing since she was six-years-old. She attended performing arts school three times a week, where she would work on musical theater, jazz singing and more.

From 2022 to 2024 she trained at Margie Haber Studio in Los Angeles, and has since been cast as a lead in TVCs for “Earth Choice” and “IGA Ritchie’s.” She has also played the role of Sophie in the Paul Hogan film, “The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee.”

Now Jerak mainly plays pop and R&B music, saying that this is something she truly loves. She has always wanted to perform, and when she is on stage she feels so free.

“I really want to continue to grow as an artist, and grow with my music as I get older,” she said.

Jerak’s focus with music is in the way it connects with people. She said she is just an ordinary girl from Melbourne who is trying to do something big with her life. It is all about creating art, which she called a beautiful process.

“I just want to inspire people to be who they want to be without the pressure to cover up their true selves,” she said.

Jerak is a huge fan of LA, saying that someday she wants to live there full time because it is so supportive of the arts. She’ll be back in the city this summer to record more songs, saying that she really enjoys being in the studio putting together a track.

“Just singing all day and working on a song is such a beautiful vibe,” she said. “It’s what I love to do.”

Jerak will be out promoting these two singles, but she plans to record plenty more music in the future. Her goal is to get signed onto a record label, so she can show the world what she’s got on a grand scale.

Henry Frasia Soothes Long-distance Woes in Latest Single ‘JFK’

image

Pop singer Henry Frasia is set to release his latest single, “JFK,” an ode to long-distance love and one of four tracks on his upcoming EP. The up-and-coming artist is also a student at the University of Miami.

Henry began making music during the pandemic, setting up a makeshift studio. “My sister and brother started doing music and told me to try it out. I was hesitant at first but did it for fun. Then I started to really enjoy it and had a great time. I kept making music and improved a lot,” shares Henry. When he felt comfortable sharing his music with people, he did just that.

Flying across the country, Henry Frasia traveled from his Connecticut home to Los Angeles for music training. There, he met music industry professionals, including producer and artist, Austin Sexton. The two began working together, dropping Henry’s last single, “Slow,” in 2021, along with a music video.

Following the release of his previous single, Henry took a short break and is now returning stronger than ever. Henry is no stranger to the stage, having performed in many plays and musicals over the years. “My mom says, ‘you always know Henry’s home because you can hear him singing from the garage,” he jokes.

Inspired by major pop artists, from Justin Bieber to Shawn Mendes, and R&B and rap artists like Drake and Bryson Tiller, Henry Frasia weaves what inspires him into a sound uniquely his own. “I take ideas and mold my own stuff,” shares Henry of how his influencers have led to his own inspired moments.

His upcoming single, “JFK,” is a song about long-distance relationships. “It’s about me going to LA for song camps and happening to leave a person behind. It was hard and difficult to feel connected to them across the country—yet I was thinking about the person all the time.” The song is easy to connect with because it’s a feeling so many have encountered in a lifetime.

The emotional complexity comes from not only missing said person, but going on to wonder, “is it even worth it?” Henry adds, “I don’t know how to feel, because you’re cross country, but I still want to be in your presence. I still want to see you on FaceTime and hear your voice. This song is about long-distance relationships and navigating through that.”

Through his song, Henry hopes to help people feel less alone in their feelings—especially feelings that aren’t clearcut.

When it comes to writing music, Henry Frasia has a preferred writing process. “Usually, my producer will start a loop, and I’ll freestyle melodies on it. Then, I take what I like, and piece them together. Then I’ll write lyrics to it.” There are times when Henry arrives with a concept in mind; other times, he’ll let the beat take him where it’s meant to go.

“I have so many different sounds and songs to share. I know I have something for everyone,” tells Henry Frasia. “I want to create music that people can relate to and music that people will have a great time listening to. Music is really powerful. The words are powerful, but also the melodies and how you can change them to make someone feel a certain way. I want listeners to feel empowered. You’re not alone. Everyone’s going through something.”
