Lyra is a singer/songwriter from Cork who’s voice and on stage presence is truly at home on a global stage. Her songs have been used on worldwide ad campaigns for Van Moof, Guinness, Disney+ and have featured in “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Love Island”. A unique talent, she manages to produce a sound which captures the Celtic heart of her music along with a blood flow of pop, haunting powerful ballads. Her song writing comes from the heart and she has written about heartbreak, family, falling in love, regret and revenge.

up” for Riverdance, The Movie, which has had a worldwide release on Netflix.

DJ & Producer John Gibbons “Edge of Seventeen” achieved # 1 spot on Shazam
Charts and top 5 of the Irish Breakers Chart. Her previous single “Lose My
Mind” (with Shane Codd) has been LYRA’s biggest success to date, spending over
six months in the national airplay charts. Lyra played to the biggest audiences
of her career in late 2022 as special guest with Westlife on their UK and
