Memphis-born and Mississippi-raised, KIRBY is a creative force you’ve likely felt, even if you didn’t know her name — until now. The brilliant mind behind chart-defining hits for Beyoncé, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, and Kanye West, she’s long been the hidden heartbeat of modern soul. But with a bold and deeply personal new album arriving later this summer — a genre-bending tribute to her roots, her womanhood, and the voices of her ancestors — KIRBY steps fully into the spotlight.
From voicing a pop star in Donald Glover’s Swarm, to building a viral community on TikTok, to singing on the land her family once worked, KIRBY’s work is as much a testimony as it is a soundtrack.
