When asked about “Speed,” Kyra explains: “Drifting and street racing were a huge part of my childhood—my dad was in a drifting crew with this legendary racer DK, who inspired Initial D and later Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift. When I was young my Dad would take me driving through the mountains and the feeling of that adrenaline rush is something I wanted to bring into a song. Blending the rush of racing with the intensity of falling for someone was how we created Speed.”
This marks Kyra’s third release coming after “Shibuya” (listen here / watch here) and her debut single “Connect” (listen here / watch here) that dropped towards the end of last year. Each song highlights her aesthetic of music that intertwines future pop vibes with various productions and beats, which are a perfect introduction to Kyra’s world and sound.
Born and raised in Japan, Kyra signed with a Japanese label at 14 years old and after years of hard work and persistence, her journey brought her to Los Angeles to continue to pursue her goals and passion with her music. With musical influences such asImogen Heap and Pink Pantheress, Kyradescribes her sound as “a mix of R&B melodies, lush vocals, plush layering harmonies over drum and bass with electronic influenced production.” She’s done various campaigns early on in her career already for fashion and car companies including Converse, Skims, Nike Air Max, Mercedes Benz and more. Now with the release of music that represents her and her artistry, Kyra is ready to be at the top of everyone’s future pop playlists.

Her mom was a singer and would play a variety of music at home throughout Kyra’s childhood including Whitney Houston, Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and more.

After years of hard work and persistence, her journey brought her to Los Angeles to continue to pursue her goals and passion with her music.
