ISLAND girl Piera Van de Weil has released her first single and is making waves in the US.

She partnered up with world-renowned composer and music producer, Steve Barakatt, signed a record deal and has now released It's Complicated.

Steve said: "The first time I hear her voice, I immediately felt she had something unique. Piera's voice is reminiscent of classic romance, it's warm and vibrant, with a modern twist. Our first writing session led to a very cinematic song I am very pleased to share with the world."

Piera said she felt her and Steve had synergy and she immediately wanted to create music with him.

Piera, who is from Seaview but has lived in New York the last five years, has performed at the Lincoln Centre, the Rose Theatre and the Off-Broadway Richard Rodgers Amphitheatre.

The single, which features Steve on piano, is available now on iTunes and to listen to on YouTube.
