We’re always excited to welcome some fresh faces to our playlists, and Kyra is here to cement her status as your future pop queen.
Who is Kyra Machida?
Born and raised in Japan, Kyra’s musical roots run deep, from singing with a church choir to piano lessons, and she continuously sang at school. The pivotal moment came when her dad took her to see the iconic Japanese pop artist Amuro Namie, sparking her dream of becoming an artist.
Impressively, she signed with a label at just 14 years old, where her career eventually brought her to Los Angeles. Now, you might have seen her across campaigns for brands like Converse, Skims, or Mercedes Benz (to name a few), but we’re here to celebrate her talent as a singer and support her dream of becoming an artist.
Kyra’s Sound
Think Imogen Heap meets Pink Pantheress. Kyra’s sound is an enchanting yet modern blend of lush R&B melodies, and delicate harmonies layered over an electric production that feels fresh and nostalgic. One unique aspect of her sound is incorporating her Japanese heritage, adding an authentic touch we can’t help but love.
“I want people to cherish and embrace individuality. For people to be unapologetically themselves. Be and live with who you are.”
