2. Sierra feels most connected to the song "You'll Never Know" off Fixed at Zero. "It is definitely the most vulnerable song I've ever written," she tells J-14. "I hate being vulnerable. I stepped out of the box and wrote a song that was kind of angsty about relationships and made it not typical. It is so real to me that every time I sing it, I love to sing it."

3. Yes, VersaEmerge is a girl-fronted band, and yes, they got lots of comparisons to bands like Paramore and Hey Monday. "I hear it all the time," Sierra tells J-14. "It just goes in one ear and out the other. I'm just being me. I'm not taking cues from anybody, especially when it comes to writing. If people didn't have it on their mind that this band is just like Paramore, I think that they would never think it, lyrically or musically. [Same with] Hey Monday -- we are nothing alike."

4. Sierra says the coolest thing that happened to her during the 2010 Vans Warped Tour was American Idol winner David Cook Tweeting about VersaEmerge! "When I saw it, I was like, 'Wait, what? That guy? Is this for real?'" Sierra says.

5. When J-14 hung out with VersaEmerge at Warped Tour, Sierra was wearing a pair of Lady Gaga sunglasses a fan had given to her that day. Turns out, she's a huge Gaga fan. "She is actually my idol," Sierra admits. "I have never had an idol growing up or posters on my wall. I liked people but I never really connected with somebody. But I remember seeing "Just Dance" when it first started being played -- I understood it and I could tell that she was real and odd. Now I have everything Gaga you could ever imagine. She liberates me. A lot of people look at pop stars and say, "I want to be them." But you see Lady Gaga and you don't want to be her -- she makes me want to be more of who I am."

Sierra also took part in J-14's newest web series, Your 14-Second (Or More!) Diary! Check it out here:
