Eva Kiss

After writing my first song at age 11, sparks flew and I discovered my love for music. Since then I have been performing under the alias “Eva Kiss”, and formed a grunge rock band in 2023 to support my sound. Being an artist in 2025 means being my own manager, promoter, graphic designer, content creator, and the list goes on. I have been developing my industry knowledge since studying songwriting at Leeds Conservatoire, where I graduated with a first class degree in 2024. Since then I began my own promotion platform to champion underrepresented voices in the alternative music scene, as well as being a part of the “Strings Attached” team - a promotional platform showcasing local artists performing with a string quartet.

Eva Kiss: the soul of grunge from West Yorkshire. Backed by a 3-piece band, Eva’s stage presence is proud, interactive, and unapologetic: captivating every crowd with her shockingly raw lyrics and spiky alternative grunge soundscapes. The queer artist’s narrative-driven songwriting intertwined with themes of female rage, liberation, and mental health recovery is uniquely paired with the gritty sounds of Nirvana, Queens Of The Stone Age, Hole, and Fiona Apple.

“…A charming mix of the sass and strong vocal of the likes of Patti Smith, Chrissy Hynde and the style of PJ Harvey,” Eva Kiss is a rising star whose natural gift for songwriting and unusual upbringing set her apart in the Northern music scene. Her music is not just heard but felt, leaving an Eva-shaped mark on all who experience it.
