‘‘ The music starts to give me an opportunity to reveal more about me as a person and as an artist’’
took away from this journey ‘‘a really wonderful experience.’’ After it ended, she was auditioning a lot, trying to find her next job in acting but she quickly realized that music was what she was most passionate about. ‘‘I do enjoy acting, but music will probably be the thing that excites me the most,’’ she states. ‘‘I wanted to devote all of my time to either creating or consuming. Once that sort of clicked, I started working on this album. Everything changed and the past year has just been a lot of growth and a lot of change in my life. It has been really great.’’ Committed to accomplishing more of her dreams, Kira started her year 2019 with the release of her solo debut single ‘‘Vinyl’’ that beautifully showcased her brilliant pop/R&B and soul vocals. ‘‘The music industry is definitely very different in every way to the acting industry. There is a learning curve at first, just figuring out the different dynamics and politics with the music industry. But the coolest part of it is that, there is so much collaboration with other great artists and writers who I really admire. So getting to be in this side of the world where I get to work with people who inspire me is definitely one of my favorite parts of the music industry.’’ As challenging as that was to figure out the lexicon to articulate what’s in her head and make it happen in real life when working with producers, Kira kept moving forward to find herself sonically and lyrically. ‘‘When I first started out, I felt myself really frustrated. I could hear clearly what I wanted it to sound like in my head, but I couldn’t communicate that,’’ she says. ‘‘Now that I’ve been doing it for a while, I’ve spent a lot of time on the production side of things, it’s a lot easier to get out of my head exactly what I want something to sound like. That has been a big part of me, and I still have lots of music showing all those different sides.’’
