________________________________________________

Hi! I am Sierra Matz, a 17 year old singer and actress. I am a senior at Monarch High School in Louisville, Colorado.

I started formal singing training at age 6, and joined my first organized choir at age 9. I have continued to take singing lessons and perform with various state and regional choirs, as well as participate in numerous auditioned events and festivals each year. I perform classical songs in 5+ languages including Italian, Latin, Hebrew, German and Swahili. I am a recurring choir soloist, and received top 2% score of Colorado Allstate participants.

Additionally, I performed in my first community musical theatre ensemble at age 9, worked my first professional equity musical theatre show at age 11, and received my first Broadway World Award nomination at age 13. I am a 3x Broadway World nominee.

To keep music alive during Covid, I participated in several virtual choirs and fundraisers, helping raise over $500K for the arts in Colorado. I also started arranging, singing, recording and releasing songs on streaming services as a creative outlet during the pandemic, with over 50,000+ streams to date (aka "Sierra Cee").
