¤ Sienna was given up for adoption at the age of eight years old. Her biological parents were rather unfit, which was why she was put up for adoption in the first place. When she was taken from the family, her birth sister was just turning 3 years old. The only thing Sienna really remembers about her birth family (or cares to remember, rather) is that there was another little girl out there who was unfortunate enough to have the same parents.
¤ Was adopted by the Gutierrez family the year she was put up for adoption. The family knew the Sullivan's and took Sienna in. They let her decide if she wanted to carry the Sullivan name or change it, and because the last name seemed hard for her at that age, she requested to just keep what she knew. Hence the fact she's still a Sullivan. She has one slightly younger brother due to this adoption, Logan, whom is her world so to speak.
¤ Has never made a real fuss about being adopted. Nor did she ever have an issue with being part of another family that wasn't her biological one. In fact, she hates her biological parents and have put them on blast, publically, many, many times at this point. She's swore if she ever sees them again it'd be the very last time, but never really elaborated on that thought in front of anyone. What she meant by that is her own.
¤ The Gutierrez family moved to Los Angeles when Sienna was 9, and she's lived there ever since. Growing up in Los Angeles she learned that to survive in the world you needed thick skin and not to believe everything you hear. She doesn't believe in fairytales, she doesn't really believe in a "painless" happiness, but that's not to be confused with her being a complete pessimist. She's just a realist to a very extreme extent.
¤ While growing up, she would often jam with her adopted brother. Her adopted brother played guitar since he was eleven and it really interested Sienna as well. She didn't take to the guitar though, she opted for the bass, and they'd jam to bands like Static X, Primus, Mushroomhead, and bands of that nature. The harder the better, honestly. To this day the duo prefers hard music which explains their career.
¤ She graduated from high school in 2005, from Del Rey Cont Senior High School in Los Angeles. She dropped out during her senior year twice because of her career but finally finished off her credits in 2005 at the age of 20.
¤ Is part of the band Misanthropy, with her younger brother Logan, and two of his best friends Avery and Camden. Misanthropy was originally the boys and another young man named John on bass, but John had a fall out with the other boys over creative differences. Logan suggested that Sienna give it a shot since she was a bassist so she attended the boys' audition for a new bassist. She sh owed off playing songs like "DMV" by Primus and "Black No 1" by Type O Negative.
- Misanthropy started off as a very underground success. By the time Sienna was seventeen she was playing shows with this group in the nu-metal industrial scene in Los Angeles. They took their time getting their name out there, put together their money to pay for studio time on their own, to record their first demo album. That 6 track album was distributed at their shows, and to record labels, just to get their name out there. After four separate label offers, the band signed with Roadrunner Records.
¤ Sienna was part of the Roadrunner All-Stars Sessions, and worked on a song called "The End" with Matthew K Heafy of Trivium, Logan Mader of Machinehead, Dino Cazares of Fear Factory, Roy Mayorga of Stone Sour and Rob Caggiano of Anthrax. She naturally played bass. At the time, Sienna was dating Matthew Heafy but the two split up in 2008 after an almost 4 year relationship. They remain friends however.
¤ One of her longest friends at this point is Joey Jordison of Slipknot and the Murderdolls. She loves that boy like a brother.
¤ She doesn't go by Sienna Sullivan professionally. She's used "Sienna Rain" since the start of her career with Misanthropy.
¤ Has been in Revolvers "Hottest Women In Metal" twice.
¤ It's been said she can out-play most men when it comes to bass. With style, a hard edge and the ability to kick a bass line down your throat, Sienna is one of the hardest working females in metal music today and she does it "with a style no man can touch," according to her.
¤ Misanthropy has two albums out, "Sway" (2006) and "Fiend" (2009) both released on Roadrunner. They've toured extensively for both. A spring/summer tour is in the works for 2010 to support their 2009 release "Fiend".
¤ Aside from Misanthropy, Sienna has a clothing line called Acid Rain Apparel. They focus mostly on tee-shirts and accessories, but have been branching out.
¤ Sienna currently lives in Pennsylvania when she's not touring. She shares a home with her brother Logan in West Chester, Pennsylvania. She's been living in West Chester for a couple of months now but due to never being home, this is the first real chance she's had to get out and meet people.
