Hull postponed her music career to attend Boston’s Berklee College of Music, where she received their Presidential Scholarship for outstanding musical merit — the first ever bluegrass musician to receive the award.

She’s also been praised by Chris Thile, Alison Krauss and Dolly Parton, who says “Sierra is truly a beautiful and talented gift to this world, so special and unique. Daybreak is an awakening.”
