Coming from a musical family where her father played keys and sang and her mother sung lead in a reggae steel band. Her musical tastes growing up were from Soca, calypso, reggae and pop music. Her greatest influences at the time being her mother and her idols were Prince and Madonna.
Kyra got her first recording done at the tender age of six. ‘Wow when I listen to that I cant believe I was singing that high, its crazy, I was so young I barely remember it but I have the tape to prove it’. Kyra recalls.
After a few years of singing with bands, recording, doing live performances with her mother and joining a girl group, Kyra made a decision to take up singing full-time and that’s when she found out she was pregnant. ‘It was the best thing that ever happened to me I was so happy and really excited but I had to leave the girl band as I wanted to concentrate on my baby’.
Kyra continues to work with various artists, and producers, such as Supafly who had a hit Lets get down (Island Records) and Maria Lawson (Sony BMG Artist), Supa Soul Brutha Del, Jason Jermaine, Andrae Bentley and other distinguished UK artist’s. Kyra also continues to get support from UKSoul.Org, BBC Three DJ-Lee Drummond, UKMusic.com, Black Heroes In the hall of fame – Flip Fraser, Struggs – A Salute to the Wailers, Madison Media, Rewind Magazine and others.
Currently working on her Book and album ‘One’, which incorporates the intellectual, sexy, inspirational and authentic personality of Kyra Simone, in the form of poetry, story telling and song will be a classic introduction to the many faces of Kyra Simone.
