It must have felt so rewarding for London-based dance-pop artist Zyra as she unveiled her debut EP, Heart’s On Fire. The release marks the culmination of years of mastering production skills, which in her case is about six. Excitingly, Zyra wrote and produced the EP’s four tracks.

Speaking about the title-track, she says, “I produced the track in Ableton and then wrote the song, cut the vocals and mixed and mastered it. There are plenty of male producers in their fifties, but female producers, especially in pop, are so much rarer. There need to be more girls inspired to create their own music and take control of the process, and hopefully I can be someone’s inspiration someday.”
