MIA YERMECHE

It’s been a busy year for the 19-year-old singer-songwriter, whose debut single was released while she was still working towards her Leaving Cert. Following an impressive appearance on The Big Deal – performing in front of a judges panel that included Boy George – her powerhouse vocals marked her as one of the standout acts of ‘A New Local Hero’. She was ultimately selected as one of the five finalists for the special showcase night in The Academy, where she cemented her reputation as a star-on-the-rise.
