Kyra Daniel

“Don’t try to change for anybody else”, “Be Free, Love yourself in and out”. Kyra’s newest track “Be Free” is co-written with UMPG’s Evan Cline and produced by Cline with additional vocal production and mixing done by Canadian producer, Steve Molella (Drummer of Finger Eleven). “Be Free” is a message of empowerment and self-love and self-respect to the youth of today.  

When you read over singer/songwriter Kyra Daniel’s list of accomplishments, you’d think you were reading the CV of a seasoned performer as opposed to that of a 13-year-old artist. But Kyra Daniel is a force to be reckoned with. She’s been singing since she was a very young girl and now as a pre-teen, she has a mature, powerful voice that is getting noticed by the likes of Mickey Guyton, Brittany Spencer and Wanya Morris of Boyz II Men. Wanya even placed Kyra in the finals of his Wanya Wednesday (Season 2) singing competition! As a member of Mini Pop Kids since 2020, Kyra is no stranger to live performances as the MPK troop are now able to tour and perform to kids and parents across Canada, the US, as well as online.  Kyra’s voice, performance skills and confident personality was noticed by Nashville Music Exec LeAnn Phelan. LeAnn connected Kyra to write with Pop Producer/UMPG songwriter Evan Cline on zoom. Those sessions led to a trip to Nashville for Kyra to record her first 4 song EP with her co-writer/producer Evan and the title of “songwriter” added to her list of talents. Last summer, Jayward Artist Group added the talented young artist to their roster and they released Kyra’s debut single “Like It’s Summer” in June 2022. An up-tempo, catchy pop jam which landed on top Amazon Music’s Brand New Music, Fresh Pop and Summer Pop Party Playlists!  

The empowering and poignant second single “Words Mean Something” is a strong showing as one of Kyra’s first songs and first co-writes. “Words Mean Something” was released everywhere on September 23rd and was added to Amazon Music’s Brand New Music, and Canada Now playlists! The official music video has accumulated over 145,000 views since December 1, 2022. Future fans will look back in years to come and remember when they first heard Kyra Daniel! In 2023 Kyra made the National Top 100 CBC Searchlight list.

Kyra’s latest song “Be Free” is out now on all streaming platforms!
