Kira was born in the town of Rødovre, and became interested in classical music through her aunt and uncle, both of whom are musicians.
She is best known for being the lead singer of rock band Kira & The Kindred Spirits. About this time, she became interested in rock music, and so she tried to learn to play the guitar. This did not go well, however, as she did not have enough patience for it, and so she began singing instead.
Beginnings in Butterfly Species
In 1993 she went to London, where she met a guitarist called Eve, who she followed to the United States.
Together with Eve and—amongst others—Laust Sonne, she formed a band called Butterfly Species, which existed until 1999. Kira & The Kindred Spirits
Solo
While in the band, Kira became well known for singing a duet with Lars H.U.G. at Rock "North" Royal in 2004 just before the wedding between Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary.
Kira Skov continued with a solo musical career in collaboration with Nicolai Munch Hansen from her former band. In 2014, she released a joint studio album with Marie Fisker entitled The Cabin Project.
