Maria Byrne

Maria began her musical journey when she moved to London in 2006. In 2009, she released her debut EP ‘All You Need’. This was followed in 2012 with LP ‘Little Basement’ and a mini album ‘Back To You’ in 2014. She recorded all her music in Dublin with renowned Irish producer Karl Odlum (Mic Christopher, Gemma Hayes, David Kitt). Maria’s songs have since made their way to national UK radio coverage thanks to Jo Whiley on BBC Radio 2, Huw Stephens and Rob Da Bank on BBC Radio 1 and in Ireland Alison Curtis on Today FM and John Creedon on RTE Radio 1. Her version of the Genesis classic 'Follow You Follow Me' was featured on the Bank of Ireland national TV advert in 2018. Maria has once again reunited with Karl to create her best songs yet - a journey of love in all its forms with her EP 'One More Day' released on 20th October 2023. Maria cites inspiration from Irish musical legends such as John Spillane, Bell X1, Mark Geary and Gemma Hayes as well as Americana/Folk heroes Gillian Welch and John Prine.
