Kierra, also known as K3addys (pronounced Kay-Three-Add-ease), was born in Henrico, VA on December 30, 2002. Raised in Richmond before moving to Fort Worth, TX for 15 years, she eventually returned to her hometown of Richmond, VA.
A high school graduate from the class of 2021, Kierra ranked in the top 30 out of 1000 students with a 3.5 GPA, also earning her Certified Medication Aide Certification.
Despite her family’s concerns about her music career, Kierra remains determined, supported by her father and CEO of Redd Hott Beatz Inc, Kevin Lamont Redd. Her cousin, Halei Brown, was another source of support before her unfortunate passing in January.
Kierra’s upbringing had its challenges, with moments of both fun and some of the most difficult times of trauma that innately shaped her into who she is today. Kierra found solace in music from a young age, releasing her first song “No Luv Story” in 2021 and reflecting on her growth since then.
Using music as a profound healing tool, Kierra has faced setbacks but remains resilient in pursuing her passion. One of her biggest struggles was coming out to her Christian mother about her sexuality, navigating emotional challenges while staying focused on her music.
With aspirations to perform live and connect with her audience, Kierra’s versatile music spans a variety of genres like Pop, Trap, Hyper-Funk/Pop, and Afro. Inspired by artists like Xxxtentacion, Bruno Mars, Adele, NF, and Sik World, her music delves into personal experiences and emotions to provide solace and escape for listeners.
Looking ahead, Kierra aims to prioritise herself, explore collaborations with Korean artists and create more pop and club bangers. Balancing her dreams of becoming an Ultrasound Technician with her music career, Kierra is on a path of self-discovery and growth, managed by G. Wallace of Real Hood Real LLC, her career only looks to expand from strength to strength with aspirations for numerous projects this year, the artist looks to solidify her mark in the industry.
