Queen Kiwi is just a cute fun little stage name I created as my journey continued.

My real name is Kira Mata. When I was real little there was a neighbor of my moms that had this little kid that just could not say my name. So one day he and his older siblings that were more close to my age started calling me Kiwi and I could not stand it! I was furious over this nickname until one day my mama said, "its actually very fitting because you know what's in the middle of a kiwi? A Star!" 

From that moment on until TikTok came around I was forever nicknamed Kiwi. When TikTok became a thing I started making silly little music videos just lip singing other peoples songs that I really enjoyed and all my followers started calling me Queen. Thus began the trademark Queen Kiwi.

​

Where it all began...

In September of 2023 I had gone through a very bad depression. I had all the plans to leave everyone and everything I loved behind because I didn't feel like I had much of a purpose. I had a voice but never did anything with it, I was a mom and I felt like that, a girlfriend that never became a wife, and sole provider is all I would be or deserved. I was sitting on that bridge and I said a prayer asking for God to give me any sign that I should stay and then this car drove by with the "Live your life" song by Rhianna blaring and I laughed so hard, ran to my car, and my son called me just to check on me just as I sat down. Within 24 hours I was hiking up this beautiful mountain just about dying out of breath when I made it to the top and found this amazing view and thats when I heard what God was telling me "There is beauty in the struggle and Victory in the pain you just have to trust him and keep going. About 6 months later I got gastric sleeve surgery and lost about 100 lbs. I went from 225 lbs to 125 lbs in about 9 months. Within that time I chose to go back to school and it was either cosmetology or music.

​

I had started going out on some weekends with friends to do karaoke. Made quite a few friends. One in particular really went above and beyond to support my music. I asked around to several people what they thought I should go for and music just seemed to be the bigger buzz. So I filled out all the papers and started my journey at FSU Fullsail University. I have learned basically all my editing and video tevhniques and such from them and Im not done. I am still going to school. I graduate next fall of 2026. 

I have always been a singer song writer but now I write, produce, and edit all my music from home. But I am so much more than that... I am also a mom of 2, a step mom to 2, a glammy to a very cute little boy (which is the last thing I expected at 33), and last but certainly not the least I am a wife to my best friend, Paul who runs his own Karaoke business at Okee Dokie Karaoke and he currently acts as my manager. He didnt ask for that title but with all he does to help me reach my dream he definately fits the title and so much more. I honestly I dont know what I would do or where I would be without him and these kids and all the support Ive gained over the past year from all my fans! So if your a fan thank you for the support and I hope you stick around cause were just getting started!

Love,

Queen Kiwi (Kira Mata)​
