Merry Melodies- L.I.RA
Welcome to a new series on my official blog titled “Merry Melodies”! “Merry Melodies” started as a special episodic series on my popular “Laugh About It with Sade Champagne” radio show and multimedia platforms where I highlight dynamic musical artists I am enjoying and want to share with you.
This week we are featuring the talented and magnificent - my dear friend LIRA! L.I.R.A. (Lyrically Infinite Relevant Art) - is a Mexican American rapper and an 805 native hailing from Oxnard, CA. Through his love of Hip-Hop, L.I.R.A. has spent his years studying storytelling and song writing with an East and West Coast influence.
I have been a fan of LIRA’s for at least the past 5 years now – when I first saw him perform at a marketplace event in Camarillo, CA in 2020. I knew from the first song I heard and as I watched his performance that he had something super special! I would soon see that LIRA has what I like to call “The Sauce”! And the crazy thing is, I don’t even think he has fully tapped into the limitlessness of his gifts and talents! He has star power, and I have always been right about these things!
There are many pieces to love about LIRA and his artistry, but I will name a few in this feature. His lyrics and the way he weaves together stories in his songs, his smooth and melodic singing voice that he only brings out on special occasions (We need to hear more of it!), the way he’s been fusing inspirational and uplifting messages during his live performances and the way he continues to stretch his artistry! My hope and prayer is that LIRA will keep the fire inside of his heart while equally recognizing how phenomenal he truly is!!!
I had the pleasure of having him perform at my 36th birthday party in 2023, have seen him perform multiple times since we first met and have even brought him out to perform at multiple of my shows. He is someone who will have my eternal support!
What’s also been fun is seeing LIRA display all the different types of songs he can write. From dance party songs that you may hear in the club, to love songs, or songs that will inspire and nurture men, and songs about his faith and spirituality.

I believe that LIRA can be a prominent Superstar in the years to come. My hope is that he will start playing bigger and seizing even more tremendous opportunities. It has been on my heart for some time now to support him anyway that I can.
