Kira Delara huh? Hmmm, We've heard a lot about you. Tell me a little bit about yourself and how you became interested in the music entertainment
industry?
industry?
I became interested when I was about 7 years old and listened to Whitney Houston's "I will always love you." Her voice was so inspirational that it made me want to be just like her. I learned how to belt at an early age because of her and Celine Dion. After I fell in love with singing, things just started falling into place!
So, How difficuly is it as a female artist to breakthough and what are some of your struggles as a recording artist?

I think the hardest thing about being a female artist is gaining respect from a male that's in the industry. Many women, including myself, face the challenge of being taken advantage of and it's hard to be taken seriously and not just seen as another pretty face. I think it's important, especially for females, to be strong and to never let any man that's in this industry take advantage of us!

The music scene is a bit tougher as a pop artist in philadelphia because most artists are hardcore hip-hop or rock. However, it helps me pave my own way in Philly to be different.

I typically will listen to a track and just start feeling out melodies and play around with words. As soon as a track is played, I think about the type of vibe I'm feeling or a theme - it ranges anywhere from sadness, happiness, party time, and more.
