Sierra Hull is an American bluegrass singer and mandolinist.
Hull was signed to Rounder Records in 2002 at the age of 13 and released her debut album, Secrets, in 2008. The album peaked at #2 on the Billboard Top Bluegrass Albums chart. Her second album, Daybreak, was released on March 8, 2011.
Hull began playing the mandolin at the age of eight and put out the album Angel Mountain at 10. Hull was soon playing jam sessions with other musicians in her family, and by 2001 she was entering local talent contests. Her parents, Stacy and Brenda, took her to numerous bluegrass festivals and it was during an International Bluegrass Music Association festival that she came to the attention of Rounder Records chief talent scout Ken Irwin. At age 11 she was mentored and befriended by Alison Krauss, herself once a child prodigy on the fiddle.
She has a brother, Cody, and is a distant cousin of former United States Secretary of State Cordell Hull. Hull has already received five International Bluegrass Music Association nominations in the past three years.
