Cork singer Lyra opens up about being subjected to industry stereotypes - 'I was so unhappy'

Irish Singer-songwriter Lyra has opened up about the obstacles she faced early on in her career in music.

“The people I would meet at the record labels were very much like, ‘Who are you? What lane are you in? We think you should be this.’ Or a lot of: ‘You should have dark hair and pale skin, you’re Irish’. That kind of stereotyping," Lyra added: “I sing with my Irish accent, and they would say, ‘We can’t really understand some of your diction’, so I felt really self-conscious about my body, about my vocals and when all that comes to you, you’re like, ‘am I supposed to be here, am I supposed to be a singer?’. Because everything that I’m doing seems to be wrong – but it wasn’t wrong."Lyra made the choice to not conform to fit into the mould projected onto her.
