When Sierra Marin takes the stage, something shifts. The room introduced her as someone who "embodies everything she sings about," someone who's been touring nonstop for over a year, "singing the new earth into being." And from the moment she opened with channeled transmissions about standing as pillars of light during planetary transition, it became clear: this wasn't just a concert. This was ceremony.

Who Is the Artist 'Singing the New Earth Into Being'?

Sierra Marin is a conscious hip-hop artist whose practice lives at the intersection of music, channeling, and activism. Her catalogue includes songs she's been carrying since she was young—like "Daughter of the Earth," written when she was 19—alongside brand-new material she'd never performed publicly until this night. The performance revealed an artist preparing to release her debut album, yet already seasoned from 15 months of continuous touring.

What sets Sierra apart is how she holds space. Between songs, she doesn't just introduce tracks—she invites the room into co-creation. Before "New Earth, New Day," she asked the audience if they'd heard of the concept, then shared her conviction: "When we allow ourselves to envision a more beautiful world, that is what we will create." She speaks with the confidence of someone who's staked her entire existence on this belief. "I believe it's why I was born here at this time," she said, and the room believed her.

Her fellow artists describe her as someone who "really embodies everything she sings about," and watching her move between fierce lyrical delivery and tender ceremonial moments, you can feel the integrity. She carries what her intro called "the power of the divine feminine coming online"—not as performance, but as lived truth.

What Kind of Experience Is a Sierra Marin Performance?

The set unfolded as a journey through awakening. It opened with channeled wisdom—a transmission that spoke directly to "the family of light," calling people to "stand as pillars" during "the death of the world as you know it." The message was both ancient and urgent: "Your gifts will be needed... You are needed to weave through the communities and bring alternative ways of being."

Then came the music—"Daughter of the Earth" with saxophone accompaniment, celebrating the woman who's "remembering her worth / revealing the trauma, healing trauma, doing work." The lyrics moved from personal healing to collective magic: "She's a warrior of peace / honoring her sovereignty / blessing everyone she sees / tuning to her frequency."

"Eyes of Bravery" arrived as what Sierra called recognition of "sacred rebellion"—the courage it takes "to be awake, awakening, aware beings on this planet in this time and to continue to show up in love and in authenticity anyway." The track's rapid-fire verses called out the systems: "Awakening the masses, see the shackles start to rattle / you can call me evil, take a bite out of this apple." Yet it never collapsed into anger, always returning to the refrain: "Love, it is the savior."

The performance reached its peak with "This Is Me," which became participatory ceremony. Sierra guided the room to place hands on hearts, breathe deeply, and "call your energy back from any place, time, lifetime / any person, anywhere with left / to be right here right now with you." What followed was a rapid-fire claiming: "This is me living my truth / this is me healing wounds from my youth / this is me being patient with the process / this is me breaking out of all the boxes."

What Wisdom Did the Performance Carry?

Throughout the set, Sierra wove together personal story, prophetic transmission, and collective invitation. The channeled opening set the frame: "You will find that over the next few years, you will be catapulted beyond the speed of light with what you know. The abilities and talents and information that will come to you are simply inside of you."

The ceremonial closing as Sierra invites the room to claim their truth

Her spoken-word moments between songs carried their own teaching. On the New Earth: "When we envision it, when we allow that to permeate ourselves, our beings, our hearts, and allow that to animate the way that we walk on this planet, there is absolutely nothing that will stop it." On the current moment: "We're so fucking blessed to be alive right now."

Perhaps most powerful was her invitation during the final song, naming what the world needs: "This is the part where you claim all of who you truly are / 'cause this world really needs you right now." It was permission and prophecy combined—a reminder that the work of transformation isn't separate from the work of being fully yourself.

As the room opened back up after the closing song, someone shouted about "the council of angels" descending through her voice. Sierra's response was characteristically grounded: she thanked the community, pointed people toward the merch table to support the journey, and blessed the Humankind Center to "continue to grow and flourish and blossom."

For those who couldn't be in the room, the full performance is available to stream—a chance to experience what happens when an artist doesn't just sing about the New Earth, but actively sings it into being.
