When Yeira is not working, she is creating. As an anointed singer and songwriter of Christian music, Yeira has been blessed to share her gift with people around the world.
From an early age, she loved to listen to Christian music with her family and friends. Her parents, Pastors Germain and Genéviève Kouadio, moved to the United States of America to continue the work of the Lord.
During this time, she joined the musical group “Colombe” of the Assemblies of God of Rivera II in Ivory Coast, and served the Lord with all her heart before joining her parents in the United States. She became the lead vocal of the musical group of the church “Les Semeurs du Plein Evangile” in Houston, Texas. After that, she joined the musical group “Jubilee Voices” in the state of Georgia, USA. In 2012, she began helping the children’s department and continued to sing in choirs such as “Fusion” with Pastor Hope Davies and “Emmanuel Mass Choir Cantata” with Pastor David Grant and Minister Wura Grant. In January 2021, she released her first single “None Like You”. She later released three other songs that same year: “Wakanda N’su” which means “At The Cross” to thank the Lord for his work on the cross (April), a worship medley with Sister Tina Dominic (May), and “Gratitude Medley” to celebrate the goodness of the Lord in December 2021. She released “Action de Grace” (Thanksgiving) in January 2022.
She is married to her high school sweetheart and they have three wonderful children. She believes that a woman’s first ministry is her home, whether she lives alone or not.
