Keir
Biography Keir
Keir
is actually Keir Gordon and comes from Bristol. Even as a child, the singer-songwriter of today had a soft spot for pop music and would honour his family with regular exclusive performances. But music was then more than just a childish obsession and Keir was so serious about it that he studied at the British and Irish Modern Music Institute. The lessons seemed dry to him at the time, but surrounded by a music-savvy environment, Keir's first live performances came, eventually even putting him on the radar of the BBC radio station. This was to be decisive, because after the singer-songwriter released his debut single in 2016, he was allowed to perform in the legendary Maida Vale Studios in London, through which the Beatles once walked, as part of the newcomer format BBC Introducing. With the help of this springboard, things went from strength to strength: Keir played the Glastonbury Festival, played his first support and then headline shows, and continues to release scattered singles to this day. The sound corresponds to the festival stages: Big, massive, with heavy drums and distorted guitars that only add to the pathos and drama in Keir's strong voice. Although this sounds like a sophisticated concept, the songs are often created through improvisation during sessions, including the latest single "Shiver". The singer-songwriter reveals this in the new video interview. Keir also talks about his musical beginnings, his student days and his passion for live performance.
