KIERA OSMENT - BIOGRAPHY
Kiera Osment, who hales from Devon has been compared to the likes of Sarah McLachlan, Lana Del Rey, Rae Morris and Natalie Merchant. Honest and unique.

 

Born in 2000 and home educated, Kiera from a young age has had a passion for music. That may have come from being blasted anything from Toms Waits to Dolly Parton onto her mothers stomach when she was in the womb.

 

She was drawn to the piano early on in her life. Given her first keyboard at six, then went on to learn classical piano at nine and achieving grade 8 at thirteen. At this time other instruments started to capture her interest, which included the guitar and cello.

 

Songwriting is her greatest joy, drawing on many experiences from life and her great interest in reading to write poignant songs full of metaphors and puzzles.

 

The strength and emotion of Kiera’s voice came to a surprise to her and her family. Singing wasn’t something Kiera set out to do, but the written songs had to be sung. Her voice is now a very important part of her music.

 

In recent times Kiera has supported Clare Teal, Eleanor McEvoy and Edwina Hayes, Kast Off Kinks, Kevin Mark Trail and BBC Radio 2 Folk award nominees Wildwood Kin. In 2013 she was on the longlist for Glastonbury’s Emerging talent completion and won best vocalist at the Song Academy Song Competition in London. She has also had some mentoring at Chale Abby Studios from level 42's Phil Gould.

 

Kiera is very driven and likes to play live as much as she can. She has played at many venues including; The Bedford and The Troubadour in London, The Fleece in Bristol. Locally, The Plough Arts Centre, Queens Theatre, The Loft Barber Sessions, The Creative Innovation Centre, South Devon Arts Centre as well as many pubs, clubs, hotels and restaurants throughout the Southwest.

 

She has also played at many Festivals including Brisfest, Godney Gathering, The Maker Festival, Watchet Music Festival, Cornwall Folk Festival, Tiverton Balloon And Music Festival and The Llama Festival.

 

Kiera has played several live sessions on local radio including BBC Introducing Devon and has also had many plays on various radio and internet shows throughout the world. “Quite Speechless, just Amazing, I’m quite teary eyed. So pleased you came in and did this live session.” - James Santer – BBC Introducing Devon. 

 

Kiera is constantly writing and performing and hopes to continue music into old age wherever it takes her!

"Such a great gospel feel on this track..."
Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6

"...each song [has] its own dynamic and texture, whilst keeping the listener's ear open to every new step and swagger that this album walks...warm emotional, heroic, moving, sometimes completely bonkers, but always true to itself..."
Jackson Cooper, RivieraFM

"Possibly the best band PR department going..."
James Santer, BBC Introducing Devon

"... a new band to my ears, I love the groove and the swagger of this tune and really should search out some more."

"...a sparse basic sound building to a swell of sweet harmonies over a bedrock of folk-americana (with a small a 'cos it sounds very British), the following up wave of new alt-country that first broke with the Broken Family Band." 
Quentin Burton - Mr.Wolfs, Bristol

"First thoughts...Pentangle and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young had a baby and they called it Mozura."
Pete Shields - Chagstock
