KIRBY wears PINKO

“I am no longer comparing myself to the woman

I thought I'd be. I'm embracing the woman that

I am.”

KIRBY may not be an instantly recognisable

name. But the Memphis-born, Mississippi-raised

singer-songwriter and activist – a title she’s still

interpreting – is the magician behind some of

pop’s most pre-eminent stars; conjuring songs

for the likes of Ariana Grande and Beyoncé, and

writing alongside Kanye West on the acclaimed

track "FourFiveSeconds". Following on from the

successful release of her debut EP “Sis” last

year – a profound tale of a powerful woman in

love – KIRBY is ready to leave the shadow of

other musicians and step into the glow of her

own hypnotic melodies, gracing the world with

her retro-futurist soul and painstakingly

vulnerable lyrics.

Covering our Summer 2021 issue wearing Pinko,

KIRBY talks releasing her new project, and

presenting her authentic self through her work –

layered with triumphs and failures– infused with

all the complexities that complete a person.
