From Fear to Control: How Tyra Learned to Own Her Voice

Growing up in a small town in Switzerland, Tyra always felt drawn to singing. Still, fear had a quiet way of taking control: the fear of failure, the fear of standing out, and the fear of choosing the “wrong” life.

So she chose a route that felt sensible instead. She studied psychology, and worked a full-time job. From the outside, everything made sense, however creatively, something was missing.

Then everything changed. Everything Tyra had been through made her realize something simple and unavoidable: life was too short to live someone else’s version of success. So she chose herself.

Tyra committed fully to music and began working with producer Dominik Rivinius at Boogie Park Studios. Together, they started creating songs rooted in honesty, vulnerability, and emotional clarity. 

Her debut single, “Thank You For Leaving,” started it all. The song is about empowerment and healing after a toxic relationship. It captures that moment when pain turns into perspective, when letting go becomes an act of self-respect. Rather than dwelling in bitterness, the song reframes loss as a lesson, and distance as freedom.

From there, Tyra pushed even further. Her latest release, “Don’t Be Shy,” marks a confident evolution in her dark-pop sound. Where earlier songs focused on healing, this one draws a line. Tyra stands firm, addressing emotional manipulation with confidence.

“‘Don’t Be Shy’ is a darkly honest and assertive song about calling out someone who’s emotionally unavailable and playing games in relationships,” Tyra explains. “It’s about seeing through the facade and demanding authenticity.”

The now-central line, “You show me yours and I’ll show you mine,” carries layered meaning. “The ‘show me yours and I’ll show you mine’ line is a metaphor for emotional vulnerability,” she adds. “It’s about reclaiming power and refusing to be just another number in someone’s phone.”

The production pairs dark textures with controlled intensity, allowing Tyra’s vocals to move between softness and strength.

Ultimately, Tyra’s story isn’t just about music. It’s about choosing honesty over fear, voice over silence, and authenticity over expectation.
