Cierra June is a 23 year old vocalist born and raised in Largo, Florida. She was diagnosed with high functioning autism when she was 5 years old and spent much of her youth at speech, occupational, and social skills therapy. Cierra could sing before she could speak and has been singing ever since. Cierra has been fearlessly performing in talent shows, karaoke contests, and competitive vocal competitions since she was 6. One of the benefits of her autism is that she never gets nervous when performing and she’s an auditory learner, making it very easy for her to memorize sound and lyrics, she also has perfect pitch. Cierra graduated from Pinellas County Center for the Arts (PCCA) at Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg, Florida in 2019 where she was a vocal major. She graduated with an Associates in Arts degree from St. Petersburg College in 2021, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Florida Southern Cn. The buzz around her National Anthem performance for the Tampa Bay Rays earned her a spot as a feature story in the Tampa Bay Times and also landed her a live spot, singing the national anthem on Great Day Live Tampa Bay. She sings and writes music to spread awareness and to inspire people with autism, she believes that autism doesn't limit your success and that you should never be ashamed to be autistic. Autism can be awesome-tism if you believe it.
