Sirah

Sara Elizabeth Mitchell born July 28, 1988, better known by her stage name Sirah is an American hip hop recording artist based in Los Angeles. She collaborated with Skrillex, on "WEEKENDS!!!", "Kyoto" and the hit single "Bangarang". Mitchell was born on Long Island, to a bluesman and an artist. Her youth included poverty, homelessness and alcoholism. She was repeatedly caught creating graffiti; she stopped after being arrested for it. She moved to Washington with her father at age six, but after he died of an overdose, she ended up returning to New York. There, she was arrested several times and eventually absconded to Los Angeles rather than be placed in foster care at age fifteen. For a while, she considered Union Station her home before purchasing a Jeep Cherokee and living in it in a garage in East Los Angeles; in an interview, she stated that she lived out of her car and felt safe in doing so.
