"Hi I'm Kyra Herbert from Birmingham. I'm a singer, dancer, an a university student. I studied Audio Tech in university. I did a variety of things like Studio Recording, Game Sound, Performance Through Technology and more. When I was younger, I started singing at home and then I've been creating music at primary school. In college, I studied Level 2 Performing Arts, and Level 2 & 3 Music. I use to perform with Eloquent (a dance group) as a dancer, but I stopped to concentrate on composing music. I created a mixtape called "Future Waves" with the other artists."

My inspiration is coming from the world around me. Other music artists, friends, my family, and any other issues to produce my creative work. For example, I taught myself to play the piano and guitar, and I also sing because I have a good singing voice, and I like to dance as well. I write songs becuase I'm a songwriter and composer.

I create music on the software (FL Studio, Logic Pro, Ableton), I use that to create melodies, chords, arpeggios, octaves, and basslines. I taught myself how to create a song and film for each software because I work independently. I also make music on my phone to create drumbeats, piano and guitar melodies, live loops, mixing, and fiddling with sound effects. Therefore, I create music on my MacBook, the big Mac, and my phone.

I like listening to music on Spotify and YouTube Music.

I inspire pop music because I like listening to random songs in social media. I want to inspire Selena Gomez, Beyonce and other pop artists. I also watch music videos on YouTube.

Another music inspiration is hip-hop because it's my favourite genre and I like listening to songs randomly. When I am at home, I watch music videos singing and dancing on normal TV and YouTube showing me how they dress and how them look. This is how I want to inspire myself because I like to sing, dance, and play an instrument.

I performed one of the songs I like. I performed "Titanium" and "Reach Out ans Touch Somebody's Hand" at secondary school. I performed a Disney song in college. I performed 2 original songs I wrote "Responsible Girl" and "Get Away" at university and town (B:Music, Jennifer Blackwell Performance Space).

I performed singing with the group at school and college, and I played keys as well in university. Therefore, we work together as a team, and I've got music communication skills as well.

I wrote songs for covers and originals. I read the lyrics, but I must remember singing without the lyrics. So that way I can use my brain to perform singing without the lyrics. If I don't know the lyrics of the song, I use karaoke on YouTube to follow the lyrics.

I like to sing and play an instrument at the same time. Likewise, singing the original songs with the piano during rehearsals in university. When I'm playing piano, I read the lyrics I wrote so I can sing with the lyrics. Singing the original and cover with the acoustic guitar is very practical because I'm good at strumming the strings and I sang to it. This is lovely. I can't believe I sang in each instument. This is hard to practice singing and playing an instrument at the same time.

This is my statement and inspiration for music artists. I'm proud of what I've done so far. Thanks for the creative work.
