Shira

"The creative process in the studio is a safe and expansive place for me. Music is how I can breathe, feel joy and shed sorrow - and where I can make some sense of the world and my place in it."

Born in New York, raised in Bondi and now a Melbourne based artist, Shira is recognised for her soulful tone, superb vocal fluidity and transmuting her personal experiences into infectious, artful songs. With a name meaning ’the song of God’, Shira was brought up on soul, r&b and hip hop, inspired by the sounds of Lauryn Hill, Jill Scott & recently influenced by the likes of Snoh Alegra & PJ Morton.

Having performed alongside various artists so far, including Matt Corby and Fatai, Shira captivates her audience with her warm, buttery vocals that show off her emotive depth. Currently working on her debut EP entitled 'Love’s not meant to hurt', this body of work encapsulates what it feels like to learn about love, loss, heartache & spiritual growth. Co-produced & co-written with Sydney studio wizard Johann Willenberg (Random Soul, Secret Spade) the forthcoming EP is brought to life through memorable hooks, R&B infused melodies and her signature style of stacked vocal harmonies.
