KYRA

About Me


KYRA - THE HISTORY
Since stepping into the spotlight at the age of 16, Kyra has rapidly evolved into one of the UK’s hottest singing sensations and is without doubt the voice of a new generation.Vocally influenced by the likes of Randy Crawford and inspired by 80’s acts such as Kraftwerk and the Eurythmics, Kyra’s unique sound is “ElectroSoul”, a blend of heartwarming soul with a modern exciting twist. Her debut album, which is currently under construction, will reflect this sound as it toys with the forgotten sound of the synthesizer and revisits the feel of those timeless 80s classics we all still love.Kyra first showcased her amazing voice in 2006 on the sultry RNB ballad “Tick Tock”. Through the circulation of just a few copies it was declared song of the week on Kiss FM and also frequently rotated on both Radio 1Xtra and Choice FM. The immediate impact of this record led to Radio DJs championing the Kyra sound. Radio One’s Ras Kwame was one such person and this prompted his invitation to perform in front of a live studio audience at the station’s annual RNB Sensations in 2006, the same platform that elevated Corrine Bailey Rae.More recently Kyra has been chosen to perform alongside some of the UK’s crème de la crème at the prestigious BBC Electric Proms. It was this opportunity that brought her music to the ears of the legendary Alexander O’Neil. So impressed was he with her refreshing style that he began to work with her immediately and they have now finished the first single from his eagerly awaited new album.This promises to be a very exciting year for Kyra; she will be supporting Alexander on tour and also hopes to put the finishing touches to her debut project. So far we have only had a taste of what is to come, but as we wait in anticipation for more there is no doubt that this young lady is one to watch!
