Iris Herrera

20-year old, Iris Herrera, is a rising voice in alt-pop and R&B—effortlessly blending storytelling, soul, and edge. Born and raised in Newaygo, Michigan, with strong ties to her Hispanic heritage, Iris brings the warmth of small-town roots and the depth of lived experience into every performance.

She first caught national attention on the latest season of NBC’s The Voice, placing 6th overall. While her run on the show leaned into country, rock, and folk influences—genres that highlighted the richness and grit in her tone—it’s in the fusion of alternative pop and R&B where Iris truly finds her creative power. Her real artistry lives in the in-between: genre-fluid, emotionally resonant, and distinctly her own.

Iris is a born performer—a rare quality among artists of her generation. Her stage presence is magnetic, whether she's in an intimate room or performing for large crowds. She developed that instinct further through gigging across Michigan from a young age, which led to moments like her recent National Anthem performances at Berlin Raceway and Ford Field.

Now working closely with producers Tre Wright and Eric "4CEN" Forcen, Iris is carving out a sound that’s intimate yet bold and melodic. Her music speaks to the experience of coming of age in a complicated world—relatable, genre-fluid, and made for fans who crave authenticity.

Iris Herrera is the kind of artist who turns vulnerability into strength and makes you feel something real. She’s not following a formula—she’s building her own lane.
