The wait if finally over and the journey is about to begin! We all have a story to tell , we all deserve a moment to stand up and speak our truth to the world . “Story Of My Life” is not only a song, but a movement, an invitation for everyone to tell their own story because when we speak our truth we heal, we grow , we learn, we connect and we dance! I am honored and blessed to finally announce that I will be Ireland’s Eurovision entry in Rotterdam this coming May 2020. My heart and soul and STORY is in this song. Let’s do this!!!

It’s hard not to smile after this week! I’m so excited having semi launched my own writer focused company Pop Song Shop. Im also super pumped about the deal I’ve done with an amazing writing and production team (more info in coming weeks!!) . After a LOT of soul searching, deep spiritual and physical work on myself it feels good to see the next progression a little clearer (even if it’s super scary starting a business by yourself!). #womeninbusiness #followyourarrow #songwriters #femaleproducers #popsongshop #smile #hardwork 📸 @jaysonspictures
