Erin Kirby is an Atlanta-based pop singer and songwriter. She has received praise from various notable outlets, including being named the ‘Best Local Singer/Songwriter’ by Jezebel Magazine.
Erin recently released a new single called “Lying”, which is a total bop! I got to chat with Erin about the meaning of the song, and got a little insight on things that led her to become the brilliant artist she is today!
Hi Erin! First of all, can you tell us a little about yourself?
Hey! I am a pop soul artist from Georgia. I call myself a tomboy with a glam face meaning I love the outdoors and I love makeup and all things that shine. I really love doing philanthropic activities. I love working with kids and animals.
When did you first discover your love for making music?
I really just always loved music event when I was really young. I started in pageants and entered the talent portion. I quickly realized that I wanted to do be an artist and started performing. I started writing after my best friend passed away in an accident. It really was a way to heal. I now write all the time and love creating songs.
Your new single “Lying” is out now. Can you give us a little background on how it was like creating this track?
I wrote “Lying” on my guitar and then we had the producers build around the melody. I wanted a song that described situations that I had experienced as well as some of my friends both male and female. I wanted a song you could turn up and sing along to and just get out your emotions when playing it.
2020 is going to be a huge year for you! Do you have any more new music on the way soon?
Yes!!! I am so excited to be in the studio and creating a lot of new music!!! I am so excited for 2020.
