About Me

My name is Ria Czerniak and I'm a singer/songwriter from Dublin. Hardly know what to write, but here goes.... My mum bought me a Spanish guitar for my thirteenth birthday (though I really didn't get the hang of it til way later), and I started writing songs when I was about 16. Started doing gigs shortly after that, and then studied music in Ballyfermot for two years. Now I work part time and spend the rest of my time writing songs, playing the guitar, singing with the beautiful Petals, knitting, baking and daydreaming about my next oversea adventure!

Seashells in the sand

I searched for confirmation, I was all you 'd ever need, Searched you high and low, but found it there so far afield, In other lands with other men and silver in the sun, Where I was new with songs ...
