Marina and the Diamonds is a solo act. Los Lonely Boys, Kings of Leon, and the Jackson Five were/are all bands of brothers, the Jackson Five’s most famous member being the late Michael Jackson.

Their dad, Jeffery David (who doesn’t use the Sierota family name professionally) is an accomplished musician, songwriter, and producer who after seeing the group play a benefit concert together, recognized their remarkable group chemistry and encouraged them to get serious about making music together.

David manages the band, and supports their vision in songwriting, working to assist them in accomplishing their musical ideas and goals. He got them signed to Warner Bros. Records, but also still acts as ‘dad’ by continuing to give the group encouragement and moral support.

Sydney (vocals) describes the band’s growth as experimenting with different genres of pop before eventually finding their niche in what Noah describes as “alternative pop.”

Not just performers, the songwriting siblings co-wrote every song on their 2013 release, Talking Dreams, with their dad.

The three siblings still in school (Noah, Sydney, and Graham) attend home school to balance their education with their busy schedule of writing, recording, and touring.

With Noah as the only sibling who was a member of a school orchestra, the Sierotas got their music education from playing in the band together and from studying privately with teachers. Their individual knowledge of music theory helps in the writing and performance of their music.

With their new single “Bright,” the band feels inspired to continue performing and develop their playing and songwriting as both individuals and as a unit.
