About the album...

Raise My Voice is an album of 12 songs - only one of which I didn't write. It's soulful and deep and I think it's better than the last one. (I know, we always think that). Songs range from anthemic ("I Will Raise My Voice") to smoldering sass ("Say My Name" "You Gonna Regret Losing Me") to sweet smoothness ("It's So Good") to stank groove ("I Ain't Never") There's even one called "Hootchie Mama" for Pete's sake. Click HERE and select AUDIO to hear "I Will Raise My Voice" or "Say My Name" on my Sonicbids page. If I were cooler I'd have more snippets for you to hear - I don't. But just look at who's on this thing:

Shane Keister (Elvis Presley, Billy Joel, Amy Grant)

My 2006 Offrow Records release Love In A Dangerous World was produced by Bruce Dees (James Brown, Ronnie Milsap) and features several Motown and Muscle Shoals R&B veterans. Grammy-award-winning songwriter Mike Reid took one listen and exclaimed, “Kira – you sound like a neat glass of single malt in a world of Michelob Ultra.” (That's my favorite comment ever, by the way. Except for that time a drummer told me I didn't play piano like a girl. But that's a different story. Back to selling records...)

This is my first CD, released in 2003. (Dear God, it's a limerick! Somebody stop me...) It's pretty different from my new stuff - much jazzier - but I'm still proud of it. It sorta tells the tale of where I'd been up until that point.

This DVD documents WesFest: A Concert to Benefit the Wes Wehmiller Scholarship at Berklee College Of Music. Wes was an old friend of mine from Berklee and I was one of the performers in this amazing show.

The WesFest DVD can be purchased for $25, which includes all shipping and handling charges. All net proceeds from the WesFest DVD will go to benefit the Wes Wehmiller Scholarship at Berklee College Of Music.
