Erin Kirby

Well, The Bert Show wants to give you your “Big Break!”

Just enter here and let us know why you need The Bert Show’s help getting your BIG BREAK!

Meet singer Erin Kirby!

Erin started in pageantry at the age of 10 and she decided to do talent. She found her passion for music when she first sang on the stage. She’s loved performing ever since, and she feels like singing, performing, and creating music is something that she will never be able to live without.

Erin has recorded in a few different states such as Georgia, Tennessee, New York, and California. Music has been her career for 5 years and she has loved every minute of it. She likes to call her genre of music Pop/Soul.

She relates herself to artists like Jessie J, Adele, and Christina Aguilera; in fact, she recently had the opportunity to sing with Jessie J on stage at Buckhead Theatre!

Another really cool thing about Erin is that she loves to give back…and she puts her money where her mouth is: Erin has over 700 hours of community service! She says that she feels like since God gave her the talent of singing, she should give back to His earth and her community. - Bert Show

Erin Kirby’s video for her single “Steal Your Heart” has us rooting for her to get the guy! Sultry vocals and a minimalist groove highlight that feeling of not knowing how that love thang is gonna go. The uncertainty is killing us! But Kirby’s sweet and skilled vocals make it all a-OK. “Steal Your Heart” appears on her upcoming EP, releasing this Fall.

“‘Steal Your Heart’ was inspired by a feeling all too familiar; when you know you are interested in someone and the feeling is mutual, but you’re just waiting for them to make it official. I heard stories from my friends, along with my own experiences, and noticed a pattern; they all were waiting for someone to make a move,” shares Kirby. - Parade Magazine online

Rising pop-star Erin Kirby recently released the music video for her single “Steal Your Heart”. The song is Kirby’s second track but the singer is planning to release her EP in fall 2019. With an aim to show different shades of love and all the forms it comes in, the new EP does not just highlight Kirby’s evolution as an artist but also the way she deals with the subject matter.

With listeners navigating through a blend of different backing instruments, Kirby’s beautiful humming, and a series of musical transitions as the singer attempts to vocalize her inner conflict, Erin offers “Steal Your Heart” as a perfect pop treat. The audio for the song has already garnered solid 60K streams on Spotify, a positive indicator for artist’s growth on the platform.

Music, for Erin, has been a source of healing and she hopes to achieve the same with her own art: “I want to be relatable with my music. I want people to find a song that resonates with what they are going through and not feels alone”. But her zeal for goodwill does not merely end at her art. Instead, it extends to activity beyond music. Erin is an activist and philanthropist who supports various charities including Relay For Life, Youth Empowerment, Children’’ Miracle Network, Jamaica Project, Girl Talk and is also an ambassador for Red Beret Society.




We got a chance to talk to the talented artist as he told us about her musical journey, her new song, and her plans for the future. Check out our interview with Erin Kirby below:

Can you please tell our readers about yourself and your musical journey?

I started music around six years ago. I actually started in pageantry and competed in talent. I fell in love with performing and decided to begin taking my music more serious. I began vocal and guitar lessons. I play a little piano, but I seem to just fit better with the guitar. I recently began writing my own music. I am still learning and growing in my journey.

You have been releasing original singles as well as covers and have performed at several major events. How do you see your evolution as a singer and performer?

I have been performing for years, but you learn something each time you step on stage. I feel like I am evolving into being the artist I want to be. I have become more comfortable performing, no matter if it is five people or seventy thousand.

As a singer and a songwriter, how do you perceive your art and how would you like your listeners to perceive it?

I perceive my music as a bit of old school meets new music.

What part of the creative process do you enjoy the most?

I love to make music people can feel and relate to. I hope my listeners feel some emotion from my music.

Do you have any artist or personality who you look up to?

I have quite a few I admire. I love Jessie J of course, she is so talented but humble. I love Ed Sheeran he is such an incredible writer and has such a big heart. I think Lewis Capaldi is extremely gifted and so funny. I love that he is always himself.



We read that you consider music as a healing process. Do you think that in today’s world when there are so much competition and restlessness, music serves a bigger purpose than entertainment?

I do think music has a huge purpose. I think both are important but there are times when you really need to just be still and listen to music. It really can touch your heart and soul. I know so many people that find healing from lyrics of songs.

Congratulations on the release of “Steal Your Heart”. We loved the track. It’s been a few days since the video dropped. How has been the response?

Thank you! The response has been really great! I think most people relate to the video.

The song talks about uncertainty in the relationship. What inspired you to create the track?

I was inspired by a few things to write this song. Some friends were having some relationship issues and I related to their situation so I began writing about it.

Would you like to share the creative process that went creating the single and the video?

Both were really fun. I have been blessed to really work with great people and we actually had a lot of fun when recording the song. Jared Scharff is one of the most amazing musicians but extremely funny. Major Seven and I have a great vibe so it was very stress-free. The video I wanted to tell the story of the song and Dwayne Walker helped my vision come to life.

We read about your philanthropic initiatives and your role as an activist. Please tell us a bit about the causes you support.

I love supporting community events. I have participated in a school tour for anti-bullying. I have supported animal shelters. I am a big supporter of cancer fundraisers and/or events. I also support various events for children.

What motivated you to support the social causes you work for? Also, what has been the biggest lessons during your journey as an activist?

I have been blessed to be surrounded by people like my parents and pageantry that taught me early on the importance of giving back. My mom, grandmother, and aunt are all cancer survivors. I love being able to support those causes. I had a fundraiser for my birthday to raise money for the victims in Puerto Rico after the hurricane. I really see how small things can make a big difference. It may be me singing to a child in the hospital who for a moment can enjoy music. It really is what we are here to do. I gain happiness from doing good works.

Would you like to share with us your future projects or endeavors?

I am releasing my next single very soon! I am so excited about the songs I have coming up! I am working on some upcoming projects to further expand on my love for philanthropy. I hope to be on tour soon as well!

The rising Atlanta-based pop star, Erin Kirby has had a busy few months with not one but two singles coming out. Earlier this summer, she put out “Steal Your Heart” and more recently, “Ours Tonight” came out.

A good listener, and an even stronger songwriter, Erin makes “Steal Your Heart” a soulful pop-ballad that anyone can relate to. “Steal Your Heart” was inspired by a feeling all too familiar; when you know you are interested in someone and the feeling is mutual, but you’re just waiting for them to make it official. Erin heard stories from her friends and her own experiences and noticed a pattern; they all were waiting for someone to make a move. She took that idea and created the catchy track we hear today.

Next up and more recently, Kirby put out, “Ours Tonight.” This is a song that’s dear to her heart, the Atlanta-bred vocalist had been sitting on the track since she was twelve years old. After performing the song more and more, she feels that she embodies the track now more than ever and is finally sharing a studio version for everyone to hear.

“I recorded ‘Ours Tonight’ when I was only 12 but as I have performed the song more and more, I have grown into the song emotionally and artistically in performance. I re-recorded the song this past summer and I now relate to the song more than ever,” Kirby tells Celeb Secrets exclusively.

She continues, “To me, ‘Ours Tonight’ is a song that I can relate to when I like someone or even when I’m out with friends. It’s definitely an anthem song and it’s a great song to communicate when you feel a connection with someone.” - All Access
