About Me

Hi, heres a little about myself if your ineterested, im a singer/songwriter from Newry, Norn iron, but wouldnt really put my music in the 'singer/songwriter' category! Ive Been playing since i was about 14, started with the guitar and began writing songs pretty quickly after that. I really began taking it seriously when i went to a number of making music workshops, ended up in a few bands from that but nothing too serious. although they did give me the opportunity to play in some great venues throughout ireland. For the past year ive been trying to push my own material and really focus on making it sound good with a band. currently we're in the studio recording our first ep which hopefully will be finished by the end of the summer. I hope to get some previews up within the next month so watch this space"!
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
