Kyra Michiko Poʻipe Gomes is an AAPI performer born and raised on the Island of Hawaiʻi in the lush forests of Kaʻūmana and shores of vibrant Hilo. Growing up singing Hawaiian mele (song) with her Grandma and belting Journey songs in backseat of her father’s Tacoma, it was only a matter of time before she fell in love with music.

She first discovered theatre after playing Annie in her high school’s production of Annie in the third grade. When that bright red wig touched down on her head, her life was forever changed. She attended Kamehameha Schools Hawaiʻi Campus and furthered her education at Oklahoma City University where she recently graduated Magna Cum Laude with her Bachelor of Music in Music Theatre and Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance.

She is currently making her professional debut as a Mainstage Performer aboard the Disney Treasure with Disney Cruise Lines.
