Having signed his first major record deal with Sony Music/RCA Germany, Kerry’s Conor Byrne is making waves internationally with his unique blend of contemporary pop and heartfelt song writing. Inspired by the likes of Damien Rice, James Bay, James Morrison, and Coldplay, the influence of these lyrical stalwarts is palpable throughout his work.
Emerging on the scene with a passion for music that began in childhood, Conor Byrne has stayed true to his song writing roots. The Tralee native first learned to play guitar from his father, honing his craft after studying music and technology at Cork School of Music.
The result is a fusion of contemporary pop with electronic elements, combined with a searing honesty to his lyrics. And he will bring his stripped back yet explosive performance style to Monroe’s Live on Saturday, April 29 at 8pm.
Exploring the themes of love, emotions, and the importance of human connection, Conor Byrne's music is resonating with audiences worldwide, with an impressive 75 million streams to date and a monthly Spotify listenership of 1.2 million.
His latest single ‘Girls On The Internet’ showcases his melodic flair, displaying a maturity that comes with life experience. Exploring the challenges of heartbreak, he captures the essence of looking for post-relationship love in a modern, digital world.
The uplifting beats and rhythmic drive of the track bares the hallmark of a global star in the making. With a catchy chorus and sincere lyrics that delve into difficult emotional terrain, Byrne shares his soul and with it, his ability to reach out to his audience.
The success of its debut on the charts is testament to the momentum building behind the Kerry musician, with the promise of more exciting and captivating music to come.
Conor will be supported on the night by the acoustic pop stylings of Dubliner, Saibh Skelly. The 18-year-old singer-songwriter is on an upward trajectory, as her searing vocals and stripped back style are gaining a legion of fans.
Having recently supported Hozier at his live rehearsal show at the Academy, Saibh’s latest single, Superficial, made its radio debut in the UK on BBC Radio 1's Future Pop with Mollie King.
Starting out on Grafton Street, Saibh is earnestly making her musical mark on the Irish scene. Inspired by Ed Sheeran and Holly Humberstone, she is creating original music that echoes the voice of her generation.
