Kairy is a Latina worship leader born in the Dominican Republic, raised in NYC, and now lives in Atlanta. She has recorded two Spanish albums, “Volar” and “Incondicional”, and has traveled to many countries to share the Gospel and to lead people to encounter and adore Jesus. Kairy holds a Master’s Degree in Human Resources from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook as well as a diploma for Lay Pastoral Ministry program administered by the Pastoral Institute of the Diocese of Brooklyn, New York. She has been married to Edwin and have three boys.
As an adult, she learned that her mom was asked to abort Kairy because she was a young single mother living in a third world country. However, she chose life and have Kairy.
When Kairy was pregnant with her first son, her doctor informed her that the baby might have spina-bifida and that he will have many health issues suggesting her to stop the pregnancy.  Her baby was born without spina bifida, but she would have loved him the same if he was born with it. Her second son is on the autism spectrum, and it has been a joy to care for him. Her three sons have been gifts from God.
Kairy es cantautora católica nacida en la República Dominicana, criada en la Ciudad de New York, y que actualmente reside en Atlanta. Ha grabado dos discos, “Volar” e “Incondicional” y ha viajado a varios países para compartir el evangelio y dirigir la alabanza a través de su música con el propósito de que la gente tenga un encuentro con Jesús y lo adore. Kairy tiene una maestría en Recursos Humanos de la Universidad del Estado de New York (SUNY) y un diplomado de Ministro Laico Pastoral del Instituto Pastoral de la Diocesis de Brooklyn, New York.  Ella está casada con Edwin y tienen tres hijos.
Cuando su mamá estaba esperando a Kairy, le pidieron que abortara porque ella era madre soltera, joven y sin recursos, pero su mamá dijo si a la vida y decidio tener a Kairy.  Cuando Kairy estaba esperando de su primer hijo, su doctor le infomó que nacería con espina-bifida y que iba a tener muchos problemas, sugiriéndole que lo abortara. Al final, su hijo nació saludable, pero si no hubiera sido asi, ella lo hubiera tenido y amado de igual manera. Su segundo hijo tiene autismo. Estos dos niños al igual que su tercer hijo son un regalo de Dios.
