Rooted in storytelling, her music explores unique soundscapes that push genre boundaries. Having started her music career as an opera singer, ESSIRAY is no stranger to experimentation and thinking outside the box when it comes to her music-making. Lat year, she curated an all-female electronic night at Whelan’s, showcasing artists who blend electronic music with other genres. Since her debut two years ago, ESSIRAY has been recognised as “The Future of Irish Music” by District Magazine, won the Goldeneire Songwriting Competition, and performed at festivals such as Beyond the Pale and Forbidden Fruit.

Hot Press describes ESSIRAY as “a breath of fresh air.” This year RTE chose her to be apart of their ‘Rising’ artist list for 2025. Her most recent single ‘LOSE YOU’ is a distinctive drum and bass track that combines her ethereal vocals with rich harmonies and stirring piano elements, delivering a fresh, dynamic take on the genre.
