Lyra has had notable musical appearances on shows like Ireland’s Got Talent, Dancing with the Stars, The Tommy Tiernan show, numerous Late Late Show appearances and The Main Stage with Mark Fehily. Her talent extends to TV also: in 2021, she joined Boy George, Jedward and Aston Merrygold on the judging panel for Virgin Media Ireland talent show The Big Deal, and Lyra has also taken part in Ireland’s Celebrity Gogglebox. Her music has also been featured on hit TV shows including Grey’s Anatomy and Love Island.

Supporting the likes of Pink, Westlife, Blondie and Sting, her sell-out live appearances prove that while Lyra’s music is laden with intensity and drama, her bright personality is irrepressible. Her current extensive Irish tour purveys her musical artistry alongside striking fashion statements, and comes after previous festival appearances at Wilderness, Leeds and Reading, Isle of Wight, Latitude, Lollapalooza in Berlin, the main stage at Electric Picnic, and Brighton Pride.

Though Lyra is an accomplishment that surmises her last several years of heartbreak, growth, and musical discovery, it’s also an opening gambit to her musical endeavours, an introductory marker to the path that lies ahead. “I feel I haven’t shown who I am or what I am until now,” she says. “People in Ireland will think that’s a strange thing to say because I’m known there. But as an artist, I feel like I haven’t scratched the surface at all. This feels like just the beginning.”
