Bairi at Parker Jazz Club

Date TBA

Bairi is a rising singer and songwriter from Hershey, PA, who’s best described as dramatic, immersive, and passionate when it comes to her craft. A self-professed gamer-girl and pop-culture superfan, she draws inspiration from all corners to craft intense and moving musical works, based on her own experiences as a 20-something moving through love and life.

In 2019, she underwent drastic growth and truly became Bairi — a moniker inspired by the powerful Kingdom Hearts character Kairi. Since then, she has continually shown progression through every release: from trap-inspired bops, to sweet and sultry ballads, to even her unique takes on modern day classics with tracks like “Star Projectors”.

“I want to bring light and peace into the world, as a being and in music,” Bairi says about her purpose. “Not to make others believe that everything is always light and peaceful, but instead let them know that there’s peace in knowing that through all of the trials and tribulations, we are still able to be divine.” With such a strong message and talent, it is obvious that Bairi has become a force that the entire world will support.
