I am an ambitious, 23-year-old singer-songwriter-guitarist, keen to develop my artist brand having just relocated from Dublin to London. YMU Group particularly appeals to me for its global reach across many disciplines. My acoustic, singer-songwriter style centres on lyrics, vocals and harmonies, aiming to deliver powerful messages through thoughtful songwriting. My latest self-released singles, Leave Molly mAlone and Inspiration, reflect the value of activism through music and songwriting (see music/social media links below). My key inspirations are Tracy Chapman, Joan Baez and Bob Dylan for the way they manipulate lyrics.  I have performed at Smoked & Uncut Festival (New Forest), Well Read Festival (Reading), Pinefest (Swindon) and will be performing at All Together Now (Waterford) this weekend. I busked on Grafton Street (Dublin) from September 2022-May 2025, and have been performing in gigs, concerts and open mics since the age of 11.  I am also the founder of the ‘Leave Molly mAlone’ campaign, for which I harnessed my busking platform to advocate for gender equity, highlighting how the mistreatment of Dublin’s famous Molly Malone statue promotes sexist cultural norms. The campaign received global media attention, including coverage in The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Telegraph, Good Morning Britain and RTÉ Prime Time TV. I navigated the media and collaborated with Dublin City Council to secure permanent statue modifications and improved female representation in culture. International Women’s Day marked the release of my version of ‘Molly Malone’, with two original verses in an ode to the campaign. I have just been nominated for the Harper’s Bazaar ‘Women of the Year’ Awards 2025.
