Roisin O'Hagan
Roisin O’Hagan is a country/pop singer-songwriter and Fender Undiscovered Artist of the Year 2018 finalist. Able to produce lyrical hooks seemingly in her sleep, she writes catchy, heart-felt songs delivered with a voice that aches and captivates. June 2018 saw the release of Roisin’s sparkly single ‘Drive’, which grabbed the attention of BBC Music Introducing in Essex and has received airplay on BBC Radio in Essex, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. More recently, Baylen Leonard chose the single as his Record Of The Week on Chris Country Radio. The single also received the backing of Matt Malley (Counting Crows), who then welcomed Roisin on a visit to his LA recording studio in August. In July 2018, Roisin placed in the final three of the Fender Undiscovered Artist of the Year 2018 contest and was tipped by industry judges Max Helyer (You Me At Six) and Georgie Rogers (BBC 6 Music, Beats 1) for her vocals and songwriting ability. In November, Roisin performed at BBC Introducing Live 2018 in the Yamaha Sessions room ahead of the release of her new single ‘Miss You Like June’, which was debuted in conjunction with a BBC Radio Essex live session on 23rd November 2018. With a busy gig schedule for late 2018 and many shows already lined up for 2019, the following year is set to be an exciting one for Roisin's music.
“If I had my own record label, I would sign Roisin immediately. She’s the half Irish daughter I never had. Her songwriting is top notch, vocal phrasing is brilliant and arrangements are ready for the world to discover. Join this party soon...it’s going to be a great one!” - Matt Malley - Counting Crows bass player and Oscar nominated songwriter
“Roisin has been slowly gaining fans and support across the country and across the industry and, if your ears are anything like mine, you’ll hear why.” - Baylen Leonard - TV & Radio Presenter, Creative Director of The Long Road Festival!
