Róisín O’Reilly

Songwriters and Composers

Dublin-born Róisín emerged on the Irish music scene in 2012 with her debut album ‘The Secret Life of Blue’. Recorded in France with Grammy Award-winning producer David Odlum and described as “brilliant and addictive” (Hot Press ****), the album marked the beginning of her journey as one of Irelands most accomplished female vocalists, renowned for exceptional stage performances and songwriting.

After touring and writing with other acts for several years, Róisín returned to her solo career in 2021. In 2022 her sophomore album ‘Courageous’ reached No.1 in the Independent album charts and No.1 in overall physical sales in its first week and was followed by sold out shows across Ireland. As well as writing her own material, Róisín shares co-writes with songwriters like Gavin James, and Lar Kay (All Tvvins), and several tracks with The Coronas on four of their No.1 albums, including hit singles ‘Real Feel’ and ‘Find the Water’. Róisín has won both the Irish Tatler Woman of the Year Award for Music and U Magazine’s ‘30 Under 30’ for Arts and Entertainment.

As a performer, Róisín has shared the stage with a host of internationally renowned artists, including Lionel Richie, Bryan Ferry, Brad Paisley, Hozier, and Colin Hay, while also headlining her own tours in Ireland, Germany, America, and Australia. In 2025 Róisín was nominated for both Best Musician and Ground Breaking Woman of 2024 by Hot Press Magazine. Since graduating from UCD with a BA in Music in 2011, Róisín has worked in music publishing for Little Rox Music and lectured part-time at BIMM Dublin. Róisín advocated for artists rights throughout her career.

She was elected to the Board of IMRO in 2019 and the Board of RAAP in 2016 giving her to date almost nine years of experience as a director of Irish royalty collecting organisations.
