Siena Fantini – wanna know her name

15-year-old pop songwriter Siena Fantini introduces herself into the music scene with her first single, “wanna know her name.”

Her music sparkles with vibrant immediacy, a prelude to the promise of a remarkable artistic journey. The debut single finds the narrator struck with jealousy when she sees a photo of another girl on an ex’s Instagram post. “The songs that make the most sense and feel the most honest are straight out of my diary,” Fantini shares.

With “wanna know her name,” the emerging teen-pop artist creates a modern sound with earthier undertones. Recorded at Altamira Sound and written by Siena Fantini, this highly reflective song came together with the help of industry heavy hitters like Grammy Award-winning engineer and mixer Darrell Thorp (Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Pink) and producer and bassist Sean Hurley (John Mayer, Lana Del Ray). Propelled by an accomplished cast of musicians, the well-balanced, sonically pop instrumentation can be attributed to pianist Taylor Mackall (Lizzy McAlpine, Marcus Mumford, Joni Mitchell), guitarist Harrison Whitford (Phoebe Bridgers, Noah Gundersen), and drummer Kiel Feher (Selena Gomez, Meghan Trainor, Lauv). This track suggests that love is complex and comes with lingering feelings when the past is brought back to life, especially through a social media post. Through Fantini’s honest lyrics, she paints a story of the mindset that comes along with just wanting to know her name. “I was on the phone with one of my good friends a few days after Halloween. I was scrolling through Instagram, when I stumbled across my ex-boyfriend’s Halloween post. Obviously, I had to look through it,” Fantini explains. “I went into it with an open mind because we had decided to stay friends, and we were doing a pretty good job of maintaining that promise, which I was really happy about. But then I got to the 17th slide…”
