Hot for 2022 Irish Acts: Ollie West
We're bringing you a selection of homegrown acts primed for major breakthrough in 2022.
The 16-year-old burst onto the scene last year after sharing his entirely self-made debut album from his bedroom, titled We Can See Blue. The project features a mix of alternative folk tracks with a pop essence, composed of short running times and full of DIY lo-fi instrumental sounds. As an 11-year-old, Ollie West was the young star of Hamnet at the Dublin Theatre Festival. The show also featured Bush Moukarzel as Shakespeare, and was directed by Ben Kidd.
