Etaoin

Growing up between Ireland and London, Etaoin’s musical and life influences are drawn from both sides of the pond. She cites the likes of Dermot Kennedy, Ed Sheeran and George Ezra as key influences from this part of the world and from further afield, it’s heavyweights such as Taylor Swift and Tracy Chapman that have had a profound impact on her sound and songwriting style.

Etaoin’s music career started out through the encouragement of her Irish parents who entered her into traditional Irish music competitions from the age of 6 where she would play tin whistle, flute and singing. By the age of 10 she was winning competitions left, right and center….in the adult categories! From the age of 12, Etaoin taught herself how to play guitar and write songs and she states that “I just had the guitar there all the time, and boredom breeds creativity”.
