About Eileen

Since graduating from the Royal Irish Academy of Music, Eileen's curiosity about the voice has developed her career through both solo and ensemble work, from Classical (eg. Lassus Chamber Choir, Christchurch Cathedral, Dublin) to lighter, pop and jazz-influenced performances (eg. Anúna and the Bugle Babes). Her versatile vocals have seen her perform around Europe and further, invited to many collaborations and releasing two solo albums.

"I love singing. It's what I do for fun and for a living. It's where I meet all my friends and where I met my partner too!"
