Early life

Sarah Hayley Orrantia was born in Tarrant County, Texas, on February 21, 1994. She grew up in nearby Grand Prairie and Highland Village. [1] She is of English, French, Irish, and Mexican descent; her surname means "mountain pass" and comes from her paternal great-grandparents, who were from Chihuahua. [2] [3] She attended public school from elementary to middle school in Highland Village, then attended Marcus High School in nearby Flower Mound until her junior year, when she decided to start home-schooling to pursue training as a musician and actress. She has said that she got her first acting experience when she joined her high school's musical theatre program.[ citation needed ]

Career

Orrantia began singing at the age of nine and started professionally training at 12. She wrote her first song at 13. By 15, she had recorded her first EP of cover songs and began writing with songwriter Jamie Houston (best known for writing songs for the High School Musical film franchise). She recorded the vocals to Houston's "Magic of a Friend" which was on Disney's Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure soundtrack in 2009. She sang background vocals for Demi Lovato on Disney's Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam soundtrack and Miley Cyrus on Disney's Hannah Montana Forever soundtrack in 2010. [4]

Orrantia's first acting role was at 17, in a commercial for Sprint in 2011. She was cast in the independent film Cooper and the Castle Hills Gang, which premiered at the Dallas International Film Festival. In the summer of 2011, she auditioned for the first season of The X Factor and was selected from a YouTube video submission, receiving four "yes" votes from the judges during the live audition phase in Seattle. Although she originally auditioned as a solo artist, she and three other female singers were put into a group for the rest of the auditions as girl group Lakoda Rayne. They were eliminated during the fifth week in the live shows.

From 2013 until 2023, Orrantia played Erica Goldberg on the ABC comedy series The Goldbergs . After casting her and learning of her musical talent, series creator Adam F. Goldberg wrote several episodes where Erica sings and plays guitar. Series co-star AJ Michalka is also a recording artist, and the two sang together on three of the tracks of The Goldbergs MixTape, released in 2017.

Orrantia had a leading role in the Christian drama film God's Not Dead 2 in 2016, [5] [6] which was a commercial success but received overwhelmingly negative reviews. [7] She also released a single called "Strong, Sweet and Southern". [8] In 2019, she released her debut EP The Way Out. [9] It has been described as a "very intimate and personal look at [her] own life" and is inspired by the process she went through after an ex-boyfriend stole almost $9,000 from her. [10] [11] [12]

In 2022, Orrantia competed in season seven of The Masked Singer as "Ringmaster" of Team Good. [13] She made a reference to having known Nicole Scherzinger from The X-Factor when she was made a member of Lakoda Rayne. She finished in second place, making her the youngest runner-up in the show's history at 28 years old. [14]

Charity work

Orrantia wrote the song "Who I Am" for the National Eating Disorders Association and the song "Power of a Girl" for the Girl Scouts of the USA. She also supports the cancer charities Lungevity, Susan G. Komen, and Stand Up to Cancer. [15] Since 2007, she has served as an ambassador for the Texas Music Project, which raises awareness and funds for music education in public schools.

Personal life

Orrantia began dating actor Greg Furman in 2017 after they met while working on The Goldbergs , in which he portrayed her character's love interest. [16] They were engaged in May 2022, [17] and married in Malibu on October 14, 2023. [18]

Orrantia is a practising Christian. [19]
