Music has been a constant in singer-songwriter Siobhán Day's life. Growing up in Belfast, she heard songs sung by her parents, and their favourite records – traditional Irish acts like The Dubliners, Planxty and The Fureys, as well as Sixties icons the Beach Boys, Joan Baez and Bob Dylan.Meanwhile Siobhán soaked up the rock music her brothers loved – and repeatedly sneaked in to her older brother's room to play his guitar. In the end, he gave in and bought her one for herself. "He taught me three chords and that was it," she says. "I've been playing ever since."After "five or six years" of writing songs in her early 20s, Siobhán started playing live in 2010, supporting Brighton-based artist Thom Southern in Belfast, and since then she's never looked back, singing honest, heartfelt and infectious songs about life, love and the everyday.Over the last six years she has established herself on the Irish singer-songwriter circuit, playing with London-based act Pat Dam Smyth and the hugely popular Belfast band The Emerald Armada among others. Siobhán has also appeared at festivals throughout Ireland, including Sunflower Fest, Dublin City Soul Festival and the Belfast Nashville Songwriters Festival, and at venues like Darkey Kelly's in Dublin.Her ever-growing fanbase are drawn to a style that mixes all of her early influences with the sophisticated pop-rock of KT Tunstall and Amy McDonald, the Americana of The Staves and The Weepies and her own personality – singing in a soulful voice with a soft Belfast accent.Now with band mates Chris Dickson on keyboards, Paul Webster on bass, Tracy Megoran on Backing vocals and Matt Hewer on Cajon, Siobhán is set to release her debut four-track EP, The Start Of Something Else, in April 2016 which marks a new chapter in her musical career – and the arrival of an artist of real substance.
