AOIBHA

There’s something profoundly grounding about the quiet in-between moments – the witching hours, solitary dawns and spaces where one finds peace in being a small speck in the universe. It’s this reflective energy that shapes the music of acclaimed Belfast indie-folk-pop artist AOIBHA.

Setting her apart, AOIBHA’s sound and style pulse with a gothic energy that subtly echoes her love for dusky literary classics like Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre, weaving together mystery and melancholy into her music.

Dark colours, vintage clothing and evocative settings mirror the mood of AOIBHA’s music - a visual extension of the otherworldly feel that softly permeates her sound. Her love of art and history has fuelled a passion for storytelling and understanding the ‘why?’ of everything. In her music, she invites listeners to lose themselves in a story - one woven with vivid imagery and soundscapes that reveal glimpses of her innermost self.

AOIBHA’s musical influences blend timeless voices like Joni Mitchell and Carole King with contemporary artists like Phoebe Bridgers and Billie Eilish. She also draws inspiration from Irish artists like Joshua Burnside, whose sublime folk storytelling resonates deeply; Lemoncello, with their intricate lyrics and haunting harmonies; and SOAK, whose gossamer craft has shaped AOIBHA’s music from a young age.
