MUSIC
Carrie, a talented singer/songwriter, is taking the Irish music scene by storm. Her powerful vocals and ability to pull listeners in and have them hanging on her every word, make her stand out amongst the sea of talent around these days.
Carrie's songwriting comes from a place of raw emotion and feeling, often carrying heavy but poignant themes. Growing up in a family of musicians, it’s not surprising that folk influences can be heard in her songwriting. With musical inspirations ranging from Carole King to Taylor Swift to Lana Del Rey.
As a performer, her aim is to evoke an emotion from the audience for every song that she plays. Carrie is often praised for her ability to show an understanding of every word that she sings.
‘Hold My Hands’ was first aired on Dublin City fm in August of 2019, on a show called Neo-Femme which is all about female empowerment.
“Hold My Hands is a heartbreakingly haunting song about sexual assault. Whilst the topic is dark and the lyrics raw, the story is told with an elegance that can be hard to find in current popular music.” – Sam Hyland // Dublin City fm
Her first original song to receive airplay was called ‘Breaking’ which she released in 2014 as a part of the ‘Cycle for Suicide.’
‘Breaking’ is a song about heartbreak and the feeling of hopelessness that comes with it. The song received great acclaim and was played on radio stations such as WLR fm and Beat 102-103.
With over 2.2k followers on Instagram and twitter, she has already attained a loyal fanbase who are as excited for Carrie’s new music as you soon will be.
