Honolulu singer Sienna is following up her breakout cover of Olivia Dean's "Man I Need" with an original single, a positive turn for Hawaii's local music scene.

• The new song, "I Want Someone," came out Friday and sticks with the same theme of wanting love and connection.
• The viral cover opened doors fast, from big stages in New York to local shows like Pali Fest.
• Writing openly about her own life is scary but worth it, since one listener connecting with a song makes it count.
• Her advice to young musicians: there is only one you, so keep creating and keep believing in your own sound.

Outlook: More performances and original releases are ahead, with her music findable across social media and streaming.
