Kira Hooks
Overview
Hello! My name is Kira Hooks. I'm a soul/jazz/folk singer/songwriter based in the SF Bay Area. I attended school at the LA College of Music for Vocal Performance and have gained a lot of experience in the past several years touring and performing in venues, house concerts, weddings, and corporate events. I'm currently working towards being a full-time artist/musician. For your event, I can operate as a solo, duo, trio, or full band.

November 20, 2022Beautiful voice
Kira has a beautiful voice to be sure. Unfortunately, her voice was muted either by their weak sound system or the piano player overshadowed her a little too much. When I asked some of my guests after the event how they liked their music they replied , what music? I’m thinking, having an outside venue didn’t help carry the sound well. I recommend an inside venue so you could hear how beautifully she sings.

Kira was great!
Honestly it was a great experience, I asked her to learn a few Spanish songs for our event and she was more than willing. The songs were great and honestly we all loved her singing and her energy. We are now BIG fans and will definitely rehire. I would Definitely recommend.

October 21, 2019AWESOME work! Couldn't be more happy with how it turned out!
I booked Kira for a secret/surprise proposal taking place in Central Park. I brought my girlfriend (now fiancée) to NYC and worked alongside Kira to find the perfect spot to pop the question. She was super kind, professional and talented and helped me plan the moment to perfection!
For anyone looking to hire a guitarist with an AWESOME voice, Kira is a great choice! Thanks again Kira!!!

About
Bay Area based singer/songwriter, Kira Hooks, is an independent and free-spirited soul that refuses to be put in a box. She was born in Houston, TX and raised overseas in The Netherlands, Nigeria, Scotland, and China. Kira's musical versatility is reflective of her exposure and curiosity to cultural differences and emotional similarities. She is always in search of what, ultimately, brings us together and what feels like honest work. This has lead her to remain conversational and light-hearted in her writing process. Through the humbling inspiration of artists such as Stevie Wonder, Antonio Carlos Jobim, (link hidden)ie, and Lianne La Haves, she has grown more in love with her path and is in constant development of her musical abilities. After graduating from the Los Angeles College of Music in Pasadena, CA (2013), she's released two albums, four EPs, and four singles...and moved to Nashville and NYC! She's also been an active member of Concerts In Your Home. Her new full length record, 'Love AtLas(t)' (produced by Jon Estes), was recently released in May 2020 on all streaming platforms.
