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.

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 (The band split in 2007). 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. Eight years on, she has released 6 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”.

She is an artist who has played more than 400 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. She was discovered by the legendary producer and musician Tricky during a performance at Tony Wilson's infamous "In the city" in Manchester who signed her to his UK based label BrownPunk and stared in his directorial debut, a mocumentary of the making of the label with the track "skating your pool" and joined his world tour in the summer of 2008. She earned her self an award from the Danish film academy, for "Best original song" for the single "Riders of the freeway" taken of the album "The The rail train, the meadow, the freeway and the shadows"from 2008. Her most recent album "look up ahead" was produced by John Parish and recorded on Iceland in the summer of 2010.

Kira is currently working on a new and exiting project with Peter Peter... Stay tuned for more...
