Rise to Fame

Sierra was a professional dancer much before she began her career as a singer. For 11 years, she had been a dance competitor and had even won three international Irish dancing titles. Alex, on the other hand, had been a musician since the beginning of his career. He discovered Sierra's singing talent after he started dating her. She would often attend Alex's performances and at times, Alex would drag her on the stage to perform. Though Sierra was initially reluctant to perform with Alex, her hesitation eventually vanished as they started to practice together.

Sierra and Alex sang a sultry version of Britney Spears's 'Toxic' for 'The X Factor' audition in New Orleans, Louisiana, and reached the next round. They bagged a place in the top 40. Music critic Simon Cowell mentored the duo on the show. Alex and Sierra moved to the top 12 and delivered their first live performance on the show, which was a stripped-down version of the Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines.' Sierra and Alex were the only duo of the time to win the American version of 'The X Factor' and the fourth in the worldwide franchise. In a post-show interview, Simon Cowell revealed that Sierra and Alex had consistently received the highest number of votes throughout the competition.

Following 'The X Factor' win, Alex & Sierra announced their debut album and also claimed that they had collaborated with Julian Bunetta, Sam Watters, John Shanks, Toby Gad, Jason Mraz, and ‘Grammy’-winning singer/songwriter John Legend for the album. On May 3, 2014, the duo unveiled their debut single, 'Scarecrow.' It was released on 'iTunes' on June 23 the following month. On July 12, 2014, Sierra and Alex revealed the title and the cover of their debut album, 'It's About Us.' Three days later, the promotional single 'Little Do You Know' was released.

The second promotional single of 'It's About Us,' titled ‘Just Kids,’ premiered on August 4, 2014. They then released the third single, 'Bumper Cars.' The album's fourth promotional single, 'Here We Go,' peaked at the fourth spot on the 'iTunes' singles charts.

In July 2015, Alex and Sierra were terminated by their record label without any prior notice. The two got the news from a friend after 3 months. Following this, they performed as an independent duo. They announced their debut EP on March 6, 2016, through an 'Instagram' post. They mentioned that the EP would consist of the songs they had performed on 'The X Factor USA,' along with a few originals.

Sierra and Alex were featured in the song 'We Were Young' from Gareth Emery's album '100 Reasons to Live.' On August 3, 2016, they launched the music video of 'Toxic's cover, exclusively on 'Yahoo Music.' Their debut EP, 'As Seen on TV,' was officially released on September 30, 2016. Sierra and Alex have been part of two tours: 'The Good Guys & A Girl Tour' in 2015 and 'The Take Me Tour' in 2017.
