Early life, education and career starting point
Although Keira was born in Indiana, her family later moved to Los Angeles, California, where she grew up with an older brother and a younger sister. Her mother is of Korean descent, while her father is American. When she was young, she was determined to find a career in the entertainment industry.
She studied at Fair Oaks Elementary School and later moved to Seoul, South Korea, where she studied at Seoul Foreign School. The school’s history can be traced back to the early 1900s. It was a Christian school established by Christian missionaries at the time.
She continued to dream of a career in entertainment and quickly became familiar with the boy and girl groups in the country.
Keira Massi
She was discovered by an entertainment company named Pledis Entertainment, which is known for managing K-pop talents such as Bumzu, Seventeen, and After School. The company name is derived from the star cluster in Taurus and has existed since it was founded by Han Sung-soo in 2007.
Pledis Girls and Produce 101
Massie received training at the company and developed her skills in dancing, singing, rap, and songwriting.
One of her first appearances was in the Orange Caramel band’s music video called “My Copycat” released in 2014.
It wasn’t until two years later that she started to receive attention because Pledis introduced the Pledis Girls group to the public. She is one of 10 members, and the other 9 are Hee Yeon, Kyulkyung, Nayoung, Roa, Yuha, Eunwoo, Yehana, Sungyeon and Rena.
In 2016, she will participate in the TV show “Produce 101” with many other members; there will be talents in the reality show competition to become members of the K-pop boy or girl band. The competition started with a large number of talents and narrowed the scope to the last 11 contestants. Viewers can vote for the game online or during the live broadcast. It is one of the most popular reality TV shows in Korea, and its popularity has expanded to other parts of Asia.
Although she was eliminated, two of their members became a member of the new girl group IOI, but later returned to complete Pristam.
Success and dissolution
Pledis Girls held a number of concerts to promote their formation and debut as a new group. They released the promotional single “We” and then decided on the name Pristin, which is a combination of the words prismatic and elastin.
The first mini album “Hi!” was released in 2017. “Pristin”, including the title song “Wee Woo”. Later, they often appeared on TV, as well as in live events such as KCON in Japan. The final promotion of their album was a mixed version of “Black Widow”.
Then they held a concert at the Seoul World Cup Stadium and released their second mini album “Schxxl Out”, which contained the single “We Like”.
After her release, Keira suspended group activities due to some health problems and moved to the United States because she had family resources there to help her recover. This led to the creation of a subgroup called Pristin V, but the entire project was unsuccessful, and the group only achieved moderate success.
