Kymara’s raw, soulful voice carries deep emotion with every note. Whether singing a heart-wrenching melody or delivering a smooth, groove-driven tune, her voice is a force —rich, textured, and filled with a rare authenticity that immediately draws listeners in. Her music is a journey through love, self-discovery, and real life exploring the highs and lows with honesty and depth.
Born in the Netherlands and now based in the UK, Kymara blends the storytelling of Nina Simone, the fiery spirit of Janis Joplin, and the deep grooved of D’Angelo. Raised in a home filled with music — her parents’ love for Prince and Marvin Gaye shaping her early influences — she developed a profound connection to sound and expression. Attending concerts with her mother, from D’Angelo to Allen Stone and Leon Bridges, solidified her passion for live performance, where emotions can truly be felt.
Since moving to the UK in 2016, Kymara has crafted a sound that fuses soul, funk and hip-hop, genres whose roots in jazz and soul offer a timeless quest for freedom.Though she began writing her own songs later in life, this quickly became the foundation of her artistic identity. Her lyrics are raw and real “I write about what i know, what i feel, what i see around me” she shares. Her songs paint vivid pictures of love, struggle and resilience — universal emotions that resonate deeply with audiences.
Her journey has already seen major milestones, including performing at North Sea Jazz Festival, selling out multiple shows in Brighton, and supporting Rag’n’Bone man on his UK tour. On stage she is electric, thriving in the connection between musicians. “For me it’s really about the musicians and the band, and making music together. The magic happens when musicians truly feel each other, when they bring the music to life in the moment,” she says.
For Kymara, music is more than a career; it’s her way of connecting with people, of making them feel seen and understood. Whether performing in an intimate venue or commanding a festival stage, she gives everything, leaving audiences with more than just melodies – they walk away with an experience. And as she steps onto each new stage, one thing is clear: this is only the beginning.
