About Me


Cian is a Singer/Guitarist/Songwriter from Cork, Ireland. The music, melody driven, is a fusion of acoustic guitar with electronic beats and synths. Influences range from the sweet sublime of ‘Jeff Buckley’ to the electropop inflections of ‘The Postal Service’.
To date Cian has shared the stage with renowned Irish artists such as ‘Cathy Davey’, ‘The 4 of Us’ and ‘Juliet Turner’. Cian’s debut EP has received airplay on numerous radio programmes nationwide including Larry Gogan’s popular show on 2fm.
Cian completed his first tour of the west coast of the USA in late 2007. His music was featured on popular LA acoustic radio show ‘Tied to the Tracks’ on ‘KCSN fm’.
Cian’s debut EP has recently been chosen as “Pick of the Fortnight” in Hot Press Magazine’s ‘Garageland’ section.
Cian's follow up release the 'Closer' EP is hitting the shops very soon and will be supported be a string of live dates at home and overseas.
