I've a huge interest in music and film. I live in Ireland and I'm one half of an elecronica duo called 'In Valour' with a producer/musician who resides in Sydney. Here's our EP and videos.I've also recently started a side project called 'Air Drive' in which I sing with film-maker Seán Breathnach. We write orignial material but our first video is of us performing a Radiohead cover.
Because I love film I've produced one of Seán's shorts 'Searching for Ten' and acted in another 'The Driving Test'. Here's my IMDB page. I've also acted in another short called 'Hungry Hickory'.
I've even had a go a making a short documentary and it's called 'Mo Bros', which is about guys who grew moustaches for Movember.
Because I enjoy listening to music so much, I decided to produce and release a cd compilation album in 2012 titled ‘Café Irlandaise’ - which is a collection of songs from modern Irish female vocalists.
I followed that up by organising a tour around Ireland with some of the artists on the album. We did a photoshoot to promote it so here's a behind the scenes video.
As a sister project to this I started a monthly podcast titled 'Radio Irlandaise' where I interview women in the arts in Ireland.
