During her teenage years, travelling through Europe and Australia, each stopover brought a new song to learn, a new language to master, a new musical style to consume.

Her return to Ireland saw her joining up with Sharon Shannon and her then touring band, The Woodchoppers. Since then, she has gone on to produce Red Colour Sun an album which reflects the diversity of her music, a mix of both traditional and contemporary.
