Singer-songwriter / performer / artist LYRA is one of the most striking talents to have emerged from Ireland in the past few years. Hailing from County Cork, she has established herself on both the domestic and international stage with a string of exciting, vibrant singles accompanied by a unique style of visual presentation that is never less than stunning. The last 18 months have been particularly thrilling for LYRA, with the spectacular success of her one-two punch of hit singles: the urgent, ultra-catchy ‘Lose My Mind’ and the uplifting, dancefloor collaboration with DJ John Gibbons on Stevie Nicks’ classic ‘Edge Of Seventeen’. In addition to these big tunes, LYRA has recently released successful collaborations with mysterious dance artist UNSECRET and - keeping her Irish roots to the fore - with Bill Whelan on ‘Riverdance: The Animated Adventure.’ LYRA also soundtracked An Post’s Irish festive campaign with her wintery track ‘The Magic Of Christmas’. LYRA is back with her first banger of 2023, which debuts just ahead of her debut UK headline tour. 'YOU' follows the triple threat hit parade of 'Lose My Mind', 'Edge Of Seventeen' and '29 Box', which have racked up over 12,000 radio spins combined in the last 12 months. 'Edge Of Seventeen' has powered to over 2.5M streams and counting. Lyra's UK tour starts on April 15th and takes in 9 cities with a London show at Bush Hall on April 28th. Building on a rock solid foundation of inimitable songcraft, studio know-how and an extraordinary vocal presence, LYRA continues to develop her writing and performance skills to new levels of confidence and unfettered self-expression.
