'ABOUT JUNE' EP RELEASED 30TH MAY
This EP is a collection of four original songs. This was a very special project as it was recorded in Vibes Studio in county Leitrim, my homeplace. It felt right to record these tracks in the rural North-West of Ireland, where the people and places who have inspired the songs reside.

'TELL ME' RELEASED
11TH APRIL
My new single 'Tell Me', featuring the wonderful Emily Doyle, is about the first conversations with someone you truly connect with. Even though it’s the same conversation you've had a million times, it feels very different with this person. You can’t wait to hear the usual answers to the routine questions.
As the connection deepens, so too does the conversation, which leads to more important questions and more vulnerable answers.
DEBUT SINGLE: 'THIS LIFE'
'This Life' was written after several of my friends emigrated. It is about how them leaving made me feel like I should leave. The song aims to capture how I felt torn between following my friends abroad, and remaining at home in Ireland, a place that I love.
It begins with a scene of a young man who gets chatting to an older fellow in the pub. He asks him how his friends are getting on abroad and if he has plans to go himself. This leads to the mental battle of stay-or-go once again, and the realisation that although life is slow and simple in rural Ireland, it is not a bad life at all.
