February 19, 2024

Hailing from Mayo and based in Ratoath, Co. Meath, writer-producer Liam Geddes has co-written and produced “Hollow” which has been chosen as the Latvian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.

Performed by well-known Latvian artist and fellow co-writer Dons, the eagerly anticipated event takes place in Malmö, Sweden in May. The productive working relationship started when Liam and Universal Latvia artist Dons met at a songwriting camp in Las Negras, Spain in 2022. Liam was invited to participate in the prestigious camp by organisers and publisher of “Hollow”, DWB Music. Dons competed against other top Latvian artists to win the Grand Final of “Supernova” which was broadcast by the Latvian National Broadcaster, LTV. Dons was crowned the winner in the Grand Final which took place on February 10th. On his involvement in this years Eurovision Song Contest, Liam stated;

“It’s all a bit surreal to be honest. I’ve always been a huge fan of the Eurovision. As a music creator, it’s the biggest platform to showcase your music. Knowing millions of people worldwide will hear a song I created is mind blowing tome. It’s a real honour”.

Liam is no stranger to international success as a music creator. His talent, personality, and hunger to succeed has already led Liam to credible achievements such as co-writing and producing the title track to Michael Bay’s 2020 blockbuster movie “Songbird”. Liam also co-wrote and produced “No Parachute” for Korean artist Onew. The song was a big hit and featured on Onew’s record “Circle” which went on to sell well over 200 thousand copies in Japan and resulted in a Gold Record and a Number 2 Billboard Album. Liam is widely regarded as one of Ireland’s most talented writer-producers and he is hoping that being an integral part of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest will open further doors for him;

As an Irish independent music creator, it’s vital that I keep improving my craft and networking. I realised quite early on in my career that reputable opportunities won’t just present themselves unless I put the work in. It’s all about keeping the momentum going and making the most of any opportunity afforded to me”.
