Kira Linn was born in 1993 and has been playing baritone saxophone since 2008. During her school days she was able to gain a lot of big band experience at concerts, competitions and tours. After graduating from school, Kira studied jazz saxophone and pedagogy at the Nuremberg University of Music with Klaus Graf, Steffen Schorn and Stefan Karl Schmid from 2013 to 2017. From 2018 to 2020 she studied for a master's degree at the Jazzcampus in Basel, where she received lessons from Guillermo Klein, Domenic Landolf and Mark Turner.
