I was nervous. I normally sang in front of intimate crowds, but never had to audition for anything in my life. Pause. My name is Kyra Nayeli Allen. I am 23 years old and music is my life. From the time I was three years old, my dad put me in pageants, talent shows and anything else music related. I always knew I would be a star growing up, but I never thought that day would come so soon.
I received a call from 4ward Entertainment Records, yes pronounced forward ENT two days ago in response to a video they saw on youtube. I did a cover of Beyoncé's Pretty Hurts and got over 2 million hits in one day. The company asked if I could come in for an audition, and of course I did not hesitate to say YES!!! I did NOT know that video would be the start of my new life and career in music. My dad Quantez was so happy for me and could not wait to take me to the label. As soon as I told my dad the news, I ran upstairs, took a shower did not wear any makeup and put on a simple red dress and a pair of black red bottom heels. I didn't really need to wear makeup due to my great genes and having really clear skin. I got that from my mom. I miss her, so much.

After I got dressed I hopped in my dad's red Range Rover(he let me drive it) and we headed to the record label. When we parked and got out of the truck, dad looked over at me and asked, "Are you ready Baby girl?" "Yeah dad I'm nervous but yeah." "You got this." he said, and we both walked inside.

The way he enunciated gorgeous definitely let me know he was weird as hell. "Um yes . I'm Kyra Nayeli and I'm here for auditions?

OH MY GOSHHHHH!!!" he damn near yelled. "What the hell? I meant what in the world?"my daddy said looking crazy in the face. I looked at my dad with a 'if you don't stop face'. "Oh I'm sorry y'all. Kyra you have an audition with the entire board of 4ward Entertainment today. You must be really good." If my stomach didn't drop before, it damn sure dropped lower than the 5'2 I am. "Oh ok. Where do I go?" "Twenty-second floor, office at the end of the hallway on the right. Take this pass you're gonna need it. And as for you handsome," he said looking at my dad, "You're gonna have to wait in the waiting area. No one is allowed above floor one except for artists and staff." "Ok, that's cool. But keep that handsome shit over there to yourself. I don't play that." my dad said. "OHHHHkayyy dad imma head up ok? I love you." I pecked him on the cheek. 'You got it baby girl. Blow them motherfuckers away." I chuckled and headed to the elevator
