Lyra piano sheet music of popular songs

Laura McNamara, known professionally as Lyra, is an Irish singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Lyra grew up in County Cork, Ireland. In an interview with the Irish Independent, she told of her early love of singing and performing. She has also said that her experiences singing in her church choir, and in speech and drama lessons were formational in the development of her singing. She has highlighted her love of Irish "luminaries" Enya and Sinéad O'Connor, artists whom critics, among others such as Kate Bush and Florence and the Machine, have subsequently likened her music to. Although she wishes to maintain a degree of mystery, she has confirmed that 'Lyra' is one of her given names.
