Emma Hynes

Emma Hynes is a writer, singer, musician and visual artist from Dublin, Ireland, performing her own songs, prose and poetry.

Her latest singles Sierra, Hinterland, Tell Me How and Experimenting Saturday are from her eagerly-anticipated debut album Tajo, which will be out on 23 October 2026.

They are preceded by the celebrated Space Between Trilogy, 2021 - 2022.

Emma's music sees alt, new and indie folk blend with pop, rock and poetic introspection to form something unique, and evocative of what she describes as her “own brand of ethereal longing.”

Her songs have featured on the RTÉ Radio One Recommends list, the Nova Guestlist's Top 100 Songs of the Year on Radio Nova, and enjoyed national, international and local airplay.

Press coverage has included RTÉ Entertainment, Hot Press Magazine, The GOO, and Billboard from the Irish Daily Mail.

Emma has performed live at venues such as Dublin’s renowned Whelan’s main stage and the Irish Writers Centre, and headlined at The Workmans Club, the Dublin Quays Festival, and The Racket Space at The Bernard Shaw.

Her most recent show saw her perform at the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport for Culture Night 2026.

In addition to her music, Emma is a published and performing writer, and a photographer whose work has been shortlisted for the prestigious RHA Annual Exhibition, exhibited on Culture Night, and features on all her releases. She has also created her own music videos.

As a first-class honours graduate of literature, drama, film and television, her love of writing, reading and theatre, combined with her lifelong passion for music, and appreciation of visual art, all make for an interesting combination of poetic lyrics, accomplished melodies, thoughtful performances, and compelling artwork.
