Kira Isabella is a Canadian female country artist who has been signed to Sony Music Canada since the age of seventeen. Kira released her debut studio album "A Little More Work" in 2012, and since then she has been the "it girl" in Canadian Country Music. 

When you think of one girl who's songs are chart topping each and every time she releases a new single, the only name that comes to mind in Canadian country is Kira Isabella. Hit songs such as "A Little More Work", "Blame It On Your Truck", "Songs About You", "Quarterback" and "Gone Enough", prove that this Canadian singer- songstress isn't slowing down anytime soon. In 2013, Isabella signed with the U.S record label HitShop Records to be able to showcase her music in the U.S country music market, and released her second album called "Caffeine & Big Dreams."

Her latest single "Shake It If Ya Got It" off her new album Caffeine & Big Dreams has a new sound and edge that she's never shown before, which shows her growth and maturity as an artist. Her past hit songs have mostly been slow country ballads with a cross over to pop, that either talk about love or heartbreak. Let’s just say, Isabella is Canada’s Taylor Swift and its been a good thing going for her. 

“Shake It If Ya Got It” is an upbeat fun country track, that talks about a group of girlfriends going out to a country bar, seeing how the night plays out and where the night takes them. This country song has a variety of musical genres incorporated in the music, elements such as rock, country and pop tied in together that make you wanna "Shake It" when you hear it. 

I've had the privilege to meet Kira Isabella a few times now, and I have to say that she is the most down to earth, humble and welcoming artist I've met. Not to mention, I got a once in a lifetime opportunity to be an extra in her music video for "Shake It If Ya Got It", so I may be biased with picking this song to showcase. Aside from that, I'm very happy for this Ottawa native who has gotten this much attention and success in just a few short years as a Canadian country singer. At only 21, Isabella has shined in the Canadian country world and has made Canada proud. I'm sure her presence will only climb further up on the country charts in Canada and abroad as she continues to unfold her career in country music.

Why Am I Writing About Country Music?

Why country music you ask? The answer is that country happens to be my favourite genre of music. Country music is for every moment in life, it has the great stories, lyrics that explain a situation perfectly, and the ability to make people think, feel and reflect on a memory. A good country song takes a page out of somebody's life and puts it into music. 

Country is the music I turn to, and I feel my life is a country song. Its been the words when I couldn't find them, a friend when I've been alone, its been a toast to things to remember and the strength for moving on. Music, plain and simple, is my therapy, and not a day goes by without me listening to country.

Singing, songwriting, and music in general have always been my passion in life, and is something that will always be with me. I am constantly looking for new artists and new songs by my favourite artists. My primary hobby happens to be attending music concerts, and I don't plan on slowing down anytime soon.

This blog is dedicated to those who want to join the country music family, to appreciate the storytelling that country music does so well in conveying for it's listeners. As a singer myself, I hope to give a unique perspective on finding artists to follow. I am excited to share new songs by artists you may already know or help you discover new talent that you become a fan of.

My dream is to one day make it to Nashville, and take in all that country music has to offer. Until then, hopefully I can bring a little music city to you through my page.
