Sierra Kay Kusterbeck (born December 18, 1990), better known as Sierra Kay, is an American singer-songwriter and model. She rose to prominence as the lead vocalist of the rock band VersaEmerge.
Early life
Kusterbeck was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida.[1] She began taking vocal lessons in the third grade.[2] She attended the arts-centric PCCA Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg for three years as a Musical Theatre major,[3] but dropped out of high school to pursue music as a career.

VersaEmerge released their first EP with Kusterbeck on vocals, Perceptions, in May 2008. They were signed to Fueled by Ramen in 2008, and they released their self-titled EP in 2009 and their debut album Fixed at Zero the following year.
In October 2010, Kusterbeck appeared alongside her bandmates from VersaEmerge on the MTV documentary series called World of Jenks, which followed the band around documenting their experiences performing at Warped Tour. The episode focused mainly on Sierra, covering her experiences as a young and new female lead in a male dominated genre.[5]

In 2016, Kay and Nick Fit of Trash Talk started the band Neaux (pronounced "nOH"). Described as an Indie/post-punk band, they released their debut album "Fell Off The Deep End" in 2016.[6]
In August 2017, they announced the release of their second album, Chain Up The Sun, released on The Native Sounds.
