Kyra Simone (also known as Kyra 'EarthTarian' Simone and EarthTarian Artist) is a British singer, songwriter, performing artist, author, and holistic sound practitioner.[1] Emerging as a competitor on the BBC television talent series Fame Academy, Simone’s subsequent career spans international musical theatre tours, prominent UK soul and urban collaborations, and independent recording projects merging contemporary R&B with ambient and electronic soundscapes.[2]

Early Life and Career

Simone initially pursued a career in finance, obtaining a degree in accountancy. She later pivoted to full-time musical studies, which led to her mainstream breakthrough as a featured performer on the BBC reality music competition Fame Academy.[3]

Following her television appearance, Simone transitioned into professional theatrical touring. She performed extensively in the UK touring production The Magic of Motown, starring as the lead vocalist for the segment honoring Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, while additionally providing backing harmonies for the production's alternative tribute acts. Simone's live touring profile expanded internationally when she joined Sheyla Bonnick—an original founding member of the Euro-disco group Boney M.—for concert tours across Europe and Russia.

Collaborations and UK Soul Scene

Simone has been a recurring presence within the UK soul and urban music landscapes, gaining significant support from BBC 1Xtra, BBC Three, and UKSoul.org.[4] In 2012, she performed as a lead vocalist alongside Carl McIntosh for the soul group Loose Ends at the Official Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert, continuing to tour with the group as part of the Loose Ends live sound system footprint.[5]

She has collaborated extensively with British soul pioneer Don-E. Simone contributed lead vocals to the track "So Good," featured on the compilation album Don-E presents Ladies Night Part 1. In 2026, the collaboration was officially remastered and re-released as the single "Your Love Feels So Good." Simone has additionally served as a session and live background vocalist for the UK soul supergroup The British Collective, supporting core members Don-E, Junior Giscombe, Noel McKoy, Leee John, and Omar.

Her additional urban and session credits include vocal features across the studio albums of hip-hop artist Fdot 1—including the single "Are We Ever/As One"—culminating in a live performance at the O2 Arena.[6] She has also contributed to studio sessions with HonorAmonkTeaLeaves on the tracks "Nothing Ever Stops" and "Dream I Had." Simone also provided vocal features for the collaborative charity single "Don't Turn Your Back #BeHuman" alongside Tekneek, S.Kalibre, and Fdot1, and delivered spoken-word vocal performances on author Esther Austin's sensual poetry album, Love In Motion. Throughout her career, she has recorded and performed alongside artists such as Supafly, Maria Lawson, Wayne Marshall, Junior Giscombe, and Flip Fraser’s Black Heroes in the Hall of Fame.[7]

Solo Work, Digital Art, and Electronic Music

As an independent recording artist, Simone released her debut R&B soul single "Come Home" in 2011, which received coverage from national urban outlets such as FlavourMag.[8] This was followed by the jazz-influenced "Cup of Coffee" in 2023. Between 2025 and 2026, she maintained a prolific release schedule with singles including "So Brand New," "Suga Be Sweet," "I Got You," "I Am Infinite," and "The Scent."

A significant portion of her contemporary work involves a partnership with the digital initiative Sof.I.A (Spiritual AI Music & Art), under which she released the atmospheric tracks "On My Mind," "Sacred Boundaries," and "Deep Dive Into Love." In 2026, Simone announced she was recording a new solo studio album. To separate her neo-soul material from her ambient and electronic dance music production, she releases pure electronic and house tracks under the distinct alias EarthTarian Artist.

Literature and Holistic Practice

Under her holistic brand name, Kyra 'EarthTarian' Simone, she operates as a qualified therapist, Reiki practitioner, meditation coach, and intuitive wellness practitioner. Her healing work utilizes vocal sound frequencies and guided transformative self-hypnosis recordings designed for energy clearing.

Simone is also the founder and designer of the conscious clothing brand The Natural Goddess - La Déesse Naturelle and is currently organizing her various spiritual, wellness, and artistic ventures under a unified corporate hub company called O.N.E Earthtarian.
