Once in a blue moon, an artist comes along whose songwriting craft feels as if it arrives fully formed. With heartfelt and intricate songs that display an emotional intelligence that defy expectations of one so young, Ōtepoti singer and songwriter Keira Wallace is such an artist.
At only 17 years old, Keira (they/them) has already been hand-picked to play in their home city with the likes of Mount Eerie (USA), Ebony Lamb, Tiny Ruins, Luke Buda, and more, playing well over a hundred shows to date. Now it is time for the rest of Aotearoa to be enchanted by the songs of Keira Wallace, with the announcement of their brand new single Leap / Landing.
Written during SongHubs Ōtepoti, Keira (lead songwriter) was the youngest ever NZ SongHubs participant and worked with co-writers Calla Knudson and Tinayeishe Zimba (ZËxÏÏ) and producer Abigail Knudson (MISSY) to write and record the demo in just one day. Keira finished the recording with Abigail at Parachute Studios and the carefully crafted result is an extremely powerful song.
