Kiara Hunter is currently enjoying popularity and success as an established
singer-songwriter. Kiara opened for Britain’s hot girl group, the
Atomic Kittens on a 22 city tour of the U. K., propelling her single “Believe” to
#9 on the European dance/pop charts.
Distributed by EMI, her debut CD “We Can Play” co-written with Grammy Award winning producer Ian Prince and Juno-nominated producer Chin Injeti (Snow, Maestro and The Barenaked Ladies) sold substantial units as an independent artist.
Kiara Hunter’s newest project is her starring role in the Bollywood feature film Sofia. Kiara plays the leading role of Sofia filming in New Delhi, India.
A highly recognized Vancouver entertainer, Kiara’s busy schedule
also includes creating a comic strip/video game entitled “Huntergirl” – a
futuristic Joan of Arc/Bladerunner action love story that revolves around
a post apocalyptic time. The comic will be published online on Kiara’s
web site early 2007.
