BIOGRAPHY OF KIRA ASPEN
Born in Victoria in 1985 Kira began piano lessons at the tender age of eight. It very quickly became an expression of her personality, as did her classically trained voice.
At the age of twelve she joined the secondary college ‘Big Band’ for 2 years as their pianist. The jazz band toured Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria performing at various openings and shows. Concurrently, Kira found herself as the pianist in the youth band ‘S.N.F’ where they held monthly concerts.
Four years later Kira joined the local church music team as the pianist. Also in the choir, she soon became a predominant leader of the music team. For the past six years, she has sung and played at many formal and informal weddings, Christenings, private functions and restaurants.
2004 found Kira as the support act for the ‘Impact’ concert where she enthralled the age diverse crowds, which then lead to her return visit the following year as a headline act.
Diversifying her talents she used her acting abilities in the lead role of Cinderella the musical seeing in the New Year of 2003-2004.
Late in 2004, Kira was selected by studio 52 in Melbourne to appear on their Album “Fear of the Unknown Volume 7” which was released November 2005. Also in 2005, she was employed as a singer/pianist in a Melbourne restaurant.
Later that year she performed in Tasmania at a Lions Club Christmas pageant, with an estimated 800 people in attendance.
In 2006, Kira performed at many functions including The Royal Melbourne Show, Fish Creek Purple Festival, Venus Bay Easter Festival, Raw Vibes, and The Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. She also entered the South Gippsland Buskers Festival with Benjamin Bradley and the duo came 1st and won the overall buskers championship title.
Last year, Kira performed at many events throughout the year including the Melbourne Fresh Artists Showcase at Revolver in Prahran where she advanced to the semi finals. She also continued to perform at festivals, restaurants, private functions, weddings and radio interviews throughout the year.
Now in 2008, Kira will be concerntrating on writing and recording more songs for her debut album to be released this year. She will also be performing at numerous events and on radio when she returns from the UK and Europe.
