Hailing from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Native American singer and songwriter Sierra Spirit Kihega infuses her music with her heritage of being part of both her tribes Otoe-Missouria and Keetoowah Cherokee. Blending her rich cultural background with her own life’s observations, she created an one-of-a-kind Americana-infused indie rock sound and combined it with her generational gift for storytelling. Inspired by Phoebe Bridgers, The Japanese House and Ethel Cain, she debuted with “Ghost” in 2024.
Telling the story about the Deer Woman, a deity from her culture, who lures away people with bad intentions, her new single uses traditional folklore to emphasize the reality of dealing with a toxic relationship. Taken from her recently released EP “Coin Toss”, the song starts with a synth drone and her emotive voice. Joined in the upbeat chorus by a lively rhythm and bright guitars, it’s her heartrending vocals taking us along into her world, that make this mesmerizing tune truly special.
