RTE Interview:
- How would you describe your music?
“I think most of my music has a strong feelgood vibe, it's simple but delicate, it’s guitar-based romantic indie.”
Building momentum across Europe, SHY has recently performed at major showcase festivals New Skool Rules (Netherlands), SESAME (Romania), and Westway (Portugal).
Her live presence continues to grow, with recent performances at Dublin venues such as Bello Bar and The Sound House, and at the First Fortnight Festival held at The Workman’s Club.
