Cian is a songwriter with a two-piece electro/acoustic outfit 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.
From the beginning Cian’s life has been steeped in music. His parents were busy touring musicians, always either on the road or in the studio with their band. To Cian this was normal life and he always aspired to do the same.
He played drums at 4, piano at 6 and guitar at 10. “Somewhere around this time I started to write songs, my lyrics were always about weird characters and strange quirky places but as time went on I began to get more personal with my music”.
Cian’s debut EP was chosen as “Pick of the Fortnight” in Hot Press Magazine’s ‘Garageland’ section.
Cian has shared the stage with renowned artists such as British Sea Power, Tilly and the Wall and Cathy Davey. His 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 returned to Ireland from his second west coast tour to play the prestigious Hard Working Class Heroes Festival in Dublin in September 2008. The 2-piece outfit released their 2nd EP entitled 'Closer' last November to a rapturous reception in Cyprus Avenue, Cork City.
Cian returns to the studio in the coming weeks to commence recording his debut single! Ears to the ground folks!!!!
