Listen in all this week at 3:40 pm for London, Ontario’s 15-year-old Keira Sherpherd on the Local Spotlight!

Keira1Keira Shepherd came into this world only 15 years ago on March 15, 1999. A Grade 10 honor student attending Beal Secondary School in London, Keira has a passion for music, dance and drama.

Keira loves to sing, write songs, dance and act, alongside the Triple Threat program at London’s “Dance Extreme”. She is actively involved in dance and drama at school and is part of the Beal Singers vocal group at her school, which was lucky enough to be invited to sing at the National Arts Center in Ottawa from June 28-July 2.

Keira has been competing in singing competitions since she was 4 years old,  often placing in the top 3.  Keira recently celebrated her biggest accomplishment thus far by winning first place in the Wallaceburg CBD Club’s Junior singing competition (Senior Category) this year.

The most important people in Keira’s life are family and friends.  She is a happy, loving girl who makes friends wherever she goes.

Keira is already penning original material – which can be heard all this week during the Spotlight. One of her original pieces is an anti-bullying single called “Stand Tall”. Watch the music video here:
