Kira left her home in Copenhagen at the age of 17 to
pursue her dream of playing in a rock’n’roll band.
She found at first a man, then a band and the source
of much joy, but mostly trouble, in the foreign lands
of which she traveled like a modern day gypsy . Her
journey led her through many parts of the world, but
for many years her base was in London and L.A.
It wasn’t however, until the break-up of her first band,
where her former patner primarily provided the songs,
that she seriously dived in to the therapeutic process
of writing on her own. Drawing from her experiences
of relationships and her life on the road, she created
a musical world, of deeply personal songs, with a
rough edge and moody tales, in a style which she her
self labeled “soul punk”, since none of the obvious
categories fit.
After 8 years away from home, Kira
returned to Copenhagen, put a band together
(myspace/kiraandthekindredspirits) and released her
first album (“Happiness saves lives”) in 2002. Five
years on, she has released 5 albums in Denmark. One of
them being with her side-project The Gospel,
co-written and produced by Tore Johansson (Franz
Ferdinand, Cardigans est.), who also produced two
albums with her previous band. (“This is not an exit” and “Kira and the
Kindred Spirits”.
Throughout this period, she has
played more than 300 concerts, to great critical
acclaim in Denmark as well as abroad. In
2007 she received a Grammy in Denmark for “Best female
Vocalist”, as well as receiving an award from
Denmark’s largest music-magazine Gaffa, voted by
their readers. Her most recent album "The rail train, the meadow, the freeway and the shadows" was released in Denmark in the fall of 2008, again reaping great reviews.
She recently received an award from the Danish film academy, for "Best original song" for the single "Riders of the freeway" taken of that album.
