Lyra Pramuk (born September 20, 1990) is an American singer, songwriter and performance artist.
Early life and education
Pramuk grew up in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania.[1] As a young adult, she performed on stage in church choirs, orchestras, and with musical theater groups.[1] Pramuk, who grew up as a boy, said she didn't feel the need to "come out as a gay man" because "it was dangerous to be different."[2][3] Pramuk moved to New York City, where she attended the Eastman School of Music and participated in a program that required her to complete daily vocal exercises in six different languages.[1] During her studies, she spent several periods abroad in Berlin, where she made contacts with various musicians and artists and became acquainted with the city's techno scene.[1]
