Getty Sienna Spiro is opening up about her career. The 20-year-old “Die on This Hill” singer got candid in a new cover story for Variety . During the conversation, Sienna spoke out about her musical influences, her ’60s aesthetic, insecurities, dealing with vocal nodules, being neurodivergent, and being in the industry as a 20-year-old. See the highlights from the conversation inside… On wanting to emulate Frank Sinatra: “You know, one of the reasons I signed to Capitol was because I wanted their logo on my vinyl to match Frank’s.” On being inspired by Twiggy and the 1960s aesthetic: “You’re drawn to what you’re drawn to, but I love the ’60s. I just loved all her magazine covers, and the way her eyes look was so fascinating to me. When I was figuring out my identity growing up, I loved her, so I wanted to try it.” On her insecurities growing up: “I grew up really insecure, and much bigger in weight to all of my peers and family, so I’ve always had issues with the way I dress. But my dad always showed me the music and the films of women like Barbra Streisand and Ava Gardner . When I started releasing music, I still didn’t want anyone to see my body, so I would wear huge clothes so that no one would get to make any comments. Then you grow into yourself more. I tried the hair for the first time, and it made me feel like such an elevated version of myself.” On writing as herself and performing as someone else: “I have no filter, which is a good thing and a bad thing. But I have no choice but to write honestly, and no choice other than to show up as myself. I’m just a 20-year-old, and sometimes I wake up and I’m on my period and I have to go and perform onstage. And sometimes having hair that’s different from my everyday hair, or when I put my boots on, allows me to kind of step into something and have a level of confidence and separation from the way I felt writing those songs. I’d never wear heels in everyday life.” On having vocal nodules: “I was really husky growing up. I only officially found out [about the nodules] two years ago. But I’ve always had a super raspy voice. I do feel like I’ve probably always had them, or from a young age at least.” . . . “They’re such a blessing and a curse. I love the texture they give my voice, and sometimes they stop your voice from doing something, which I actually think sounds good. But I was nearly mute for a year — like, I barely spoke the year before last. It was really tricky. Very isolating.” On feeling like a singer: “I didn’t grow up thinking I was a singer, ever. My dad always was like, ‘Oh, you sound shit,’ and I was like, ‘OK, great — so I’ve got to be a really good songwriter if I wanna do this as a job.’ But then I started doing sessions, and people started being very complimentary of my voice, so then I fed off that validation, and so I would do the most. Every riff, every run, every moment to belt, I would take it. But the way Sinatra sings is like a painter.” On being ins
