Alex & Sierra were an American mixed indie folk-pop vocal duo consisting of Alex Kinsey (born 8 September 1991) and Sierra Deaton (born 11 February 1991). They auditioned for Season 3 of The X Factor USA and made it all the way to the final as part of the Groups category mentored by Simon Cowell.

Due to the eliminations of RoXxy Montana, Sweet Suspense and Restless Road, Alex & Sierra were the only act left in their category. They were crowned the winners defeating Jeff Gutt from the Over 25s category mentored by Kelly Rowland.

Post The X Factor USA

The duo, who were also a romantic couple, broke-up in 2016—yet attempted to remain friends and make music. However, they decided in 2017 they'd no longer collaborate and would focus on solo endeavors.

An album they antecedently released, despite placing in the top 10, didn't meet expectations. Nevertheless, one of its songs was covered by Molly Scott ("Little Do You Know") in X Factor UK Series 15, and she progressed, despite mixed reviews.
