KIRBY (Kirby Lauryen Dockery) is a Mississippi-born, Memphis-raised singer-songwriter whose pen has powered hits for Kanye West, Rihanna and Paul McCartney ("FourFiveSeconds"), Beyonce, Ariana Grande and Childish Gambino. Tracing her surname to the Dockery Plantation where her enslaved ancestors picked cotton, she turned her songwriting craft into a celebrated solo voice rooted in Southern soul. Her 2025 album "Miss Black America" — a collaboration with Big K.R.I.T. — is a love letter to the South that has racked up millions of streams, following her debut "Sis. He Wasn't the One". She stays active into 2026 with singles like "Lose Myself" and "Saving Grace" (from the Prime series Spider-Noir), plus features alongside Rapsody, Samm Henshaw and Adi Oasis.
