Lira, a multifaceted talent from South Africa has certainly made her mark within her country and across Europe. Often compared to Sade, Lira's awarding winning style has made her a household name overseas. In 2012, Essence Magazine named her one of five unique artists to "change music." With international success under her belt, Lira now has her eyes set on being a fixture in America's music scene. By all accounts, she has what it takes to find much success here in the states.
A talented singer, songwriter, model and actress, Lira began her musical journey at the age of 16. After winning a competition for young singer and songwriters, she began performing both covers and original music. Over the years, Lira has developed a unique ability to flow between genres like Bossa, R&B and Jazz.
Her latest release Rise Again is described as being a perfect introduction for US fans. Lira's smooth, unique sound, her wide variety of lyrical content and touches of her South African heritage help to tell a complete story of who she is and the mark she plans to make stateside. Rise Again is inspirational, romantic, upbeat and though provoking, all at the same time. It really showcases Lira's complete spectrum as an artist.
If you are in the Baltimore area, you will have an amazing opportunity to experience Lira's artistry first hand. Lira will be performing at the Baltimore Soundstage on June 24th. Rise Again is available now on iTunes and Amazon.
