She has performed in NYC venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Frederick P. Rose Hall at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Le Poisson Rouge in the Village, and Jazz Standard.

She has performed all across the country, and all over the world in countries such as China, Italy, and Greece. She has backed notable artists such as Frank Ocean at the 2014 Met Opera gala, Zola Jesus, bassist Reggie Workman, and trumpeter Wallace Roney.

As an actress, Kyra has performed on the Upright Citizens Brigade stage as an advanced student, and in indie improv teams around the city.
