About Me: 28yrs from Bristol. By day I care for my Mum who has Parkinson's Disease and by night I'm a rock chick who's been singing/writing and performing 15 years. I play Guitar, Bass and Piano. In 2005 I recorded a song I wrote when I was 12, 'Dead Girl On Earth' and the album followed. Personal, revealing, yet cryptic. The whole album was written/recorded/produced completely by myself in my Mum's garage! I'm preferably more on the Alternative Rock/Country side of things and pride myself on vocal projection with unique versatility. I've worked with a fair amount of music folk over the years and love collaborating, experimenting on different styles and sounds. I formed a band last year 'Etched In Stone' to support the album and we came 3rd in the Bristol Emergenza Grand Final at the Carling Academy. Band commitment failed just as we were getting the big gigs and after too many attempts to replace members, I've finally decided to stay solo until bigger/notable projects come along.

Mega-Talent Kyra Bernice from Bristol has made it through from over 10,000 singers and bands across the country to perform at the live stages of Live & Unsigned.
Live and Unsigned is a national music competition for unsigned bands and singers to compete live. With over 10,000 registrations in 2007 it is the biggest music talent search outside a certain ITV show. The difference with Live and Unsigned is that the acts taking part are encouraged to do their own thing; be individual, original, perform their own genre and style Live. The competition’s aim is to find potential recording artists with the National final being held in London.
Chris Grayston, Events Director of Live & Unsigned explains “This cannot be compared to any other talent searches as the acts talent is the show. We are interested in discovering and exposing talent at its best; live! It is as simple as we say Get Live, get signed.”
The competition has winners in categories of best individual female, male and Best Live & Unsigned band. With the overall adult winner/s of the competition getting a Recording and management contract with Future Music with an investment of up to £20,000 invested in them to release their single with Future Music. The Under 18’s winner has the option to record a track written by Lemar and Mark Hill (Craig David’s producer) and will additionally get to record an album.
The winners will be crowned the UK's best Live and Unsigned acts in front of a capacity crowd, including many professionals from within the music industry. They will be thrust into the media spotlight through television, radio and the press and furthermore all winners will all be invited on the UK Live and Unsigned Tour. The tour involves as many as 100 gigs across the UK including the chance to perform live at some well known festivals. The 2007 competition boasts ITV coverage which is also planned for 2008.
Paul King from Future Music, who is better known in the music industry as the former Manager of Tears for Fears, Julian Cope, Level 42 and tour Manager for Genesis says “We have found that the competition is so effective for us to discover talented acts and bands and to place them in the music market place. We can really see those acts that have the commitment and fan base to be successful in the industry…and for the acts involved it is a great opportunity to develop, improve and impress.”
