Check out 2008 Stellar Award Nominee Ms. Kaira Miller!

I have to admit, I had never heard of this young lady until I read the list of nominees for the 2008 Stellar Award Nominees. There is so much talent in the gospel industry that gets very little promotion, but is very much worth the attention and she is one of them.

From cdbaby.com/kaira2:

Kaira (pronounced “Ky-Rah”) is a gifted and humble servant of God. Blessed with a quiet and reserved demeanor, her personality is one that endears her to all who know her. Singing since she was a toddler, Kaira first publicly displayed her God given talent in February 2001 when she sang a song entitled “In the Presence of Jehovah” as rendered by Doreen Vail at her home church, Abundant Life International Baptist Cathedral in Jacksonville, NC. Only 8 years old at the time, Kaira amazed all who heard her with the strength and beauty of her voice.

Soulful, mature and anointed have been some of the adjectives used to describe her sound. Since then, Kaira has grown and continues to develop her gift. Kaira has been performing around the eastern NC area and has been blessed with invites to perform in venues featuring Gosple music greats such as Dottie Peoples and Vicky Winans in Jacksonville, NC, Psalmist Doreen Vail in Ayden, NC, Gospel Rapper Lecrae in New Bern, NC and Pastor Shirley Ceasar in Wilmington, NC. Kaira has also ministered at youth services in Wilmington, New Bern, Havelock and Goldsboro, NC.

Kaira has written a couple of the songs on her debut CD including her first recorded single “My Everything”. Kaira was inspired to write this song after her father returned home from a second deployment to Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2005. Kaira represents the next generation of gospel music singers poised to take her place among the gospel music greats that have preceded her.

We are happy to announce that ….Kaira is currently a Nominee for the 2007 “Ensound Awards” (Independent Artist) in the “Best Urban CD” of the year category and also a Nominee for the 2008 Stellar Awards for the “Best Children’s Performance of the Year” category. To God be the Glory!!
