Galway's LAOISE is an electro-pop artist, with her music incorporating elements of synth, soul and alternative pop.
She grew up surrounded by traditional Irish music, and having learnt to play the fiddle at the age of 5, she would regularly attend traditional Irish sessions at her local Galway pub.
Taking influence from the likes of NAO, MO and Skott, but also from household names like Kate Bush and David Bowie, LAOISE has crafted her skill to become a successful artist in her own right
Her debut single ‘YOU’ was originally a college assignment, but has had over 260,000 streams since it’s release.
