Hot For 2021 Irish Acts: Martin McDonnell
In a world of shuttered music venues and snatched-away opportunities, Ireland’s music community continues to defy the odds – with young, emerging artists defiantly rising above seemingly insurmountable challenges, and flying the flag for their country. This bold energy, independent ethos and genre-defying talent is evident across our list of Hot For 2021 Irish Acts – which features artists from every corner of Ireland.
Martin McDonnell:
The young singer-songwriter’s remarkable voice and mature writing skills have earned him a major fanbase, through his Grafton Street busking and Whelan’s performances. His debut single ‘Hold Me Tight’ was released in 2020, and was followed up with the equally excellent ‘Like You Did Something Wrong’ and ‘Day By Day’.
Hear: ‘Day By Day’.
Watch: His video for 'Like You Did Something Wrong'.
