About Me


Kyri is solo artist who has been writing and recording since he was 14. Based in South Australia, Kyri is a University of Adelaide Music graduate who established his acoustic act in 2003.
His music is a melodic blend of acoustic guitar, vocals and percussion, his lyrics (sometimes political, often angry but always passionate and meaningful) are poetically crated and coupled to his music to give a dark and haungting alternative style.
Kyri's cd releases include his dedut EP, "Silent Patch", which was recorded in his home studio in 2004 (this limited edition release has now sold out) its succuss lead to the recording of a new full length album, "Inhuman(e)" produced by Tony Nesci in June 2006.
As well as playing at venues around Adelaide, Kyri has had numerous interviews & live to air performances on Radio Adelaide and also 3D Radio. in 2009 Kyri is intending on getting back out into some shows with younger borther Foti and good mate Lindon as a three piece playing a combinations of originals(new and old) and accustic TOOL covers.
