Lira...
Lira was born as Lira Molapo in East Johannesburg, South Africa.
She began singing at a very young age. Her love for singing and
performing was propelled at age 16 when she won best
composition, best vocalist and best performance at a talent show.
She released her first album in 2003 titled “All my Love” and
received a nomination for best R and B album in 2004.
Since then Lira has been putting forth music that is inspiring
soulful and in plain words “ good Music”. She has won over 9
South African Music Awards and we believe she will get many more.
Her new album “Rise again” embodies her journey through her
career and talks about love. In Language and in style it is a bit
different from her previous work but you can appreciate the
great music and growth coming from this awesome artist.
