Los Angeles-based Irish producer and singer-songwriter Lenii has announced a homecoming gig, due to take place at Dublin's Academy on June 9th this year.

Not quite a hometown show, seeing as Ellen Murphy (aka Lenii) was raised in Cork, but the Dubstep graduate is buzzing to return to Irish shores nevertheless after the Covid-19 pandemic forced her to cancel previous bookings here.

Lenii’s production credits include the likes of David Guetta, Kenzie, Pink$weats, Suki Waterhouse, Au/Ra, GRACEY, Pixie Lott and Loud Luxury.

Her new EP Zero Sympathy, released on March 2nd, marked the eagerly-awaited follow up to rising producer and singer-songwriter's first offering, 2020’s In All Fairness…, which steadily rose up the iTunes charts and earned Lenii a rake of new followers. It also cemented the idea of relocating to Los Angeles in her head, tapping a new manager and adding an impressive rake of production credits to her name in the process.

Lenii attended Dubspot in New York back in 2012 at the age of 15, living with her aunt in Plainsboro, New Jersey and commuting to the DJ school. Enrolling in a psychology course in Ireland after finishing secondary school, she instead landed a tech internship at Dubspot, which led to a full-time job, until its closure. Later turning to production to escape the self-conscious nature of singing, Lenii now divides her time between the two art forms, and ended up back in the US last year.

Tickets for her Dublin show go on sale this Thursday, May 11th.
