Owen Denvir

Training as a young orchestral viola player, Owen Denvir was drawn by the alternative sound of <a href="spotify:artist:4LEiUm1SRbFMgfqnQTwUbQ" data-name="Bon Iver">Bon Iver</a> over Bach. These two styles of music influence his songwriting, which BBC Radio 5&#39;s Scott Mills has described as “Dreamy”.

Owen&#39;s DIY production has totalled over 400,000 streams on Spotify and 2,000,000 views on videos across Facebook and Youtube, even drawing the attention of <a href="spotify:artist:4gzpq5DPGxSnKTe4SA8HAU" data-name="Coldplay">Coldplay</a> on Twitter. Coupled with shows played alongside <a href="spotify:artist:21TinSsF5ytwsfdyz5VSVS" data-name="dodie">dodie</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3Aut8hgiqZSy2qmJluZMU9" data-name="Rosie Carney">Rosie Carney</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2TAqN8fwfaKauvviN4pOsv" data-name="JC Stewart">JC Stewart</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4tqPTKknmeQK1uDEFVfX4G" data-name="Ryan McMullan">Ryan McMullan</a> as well as Irish TV appearances on BBC 1’s “Nolan Live”, ITV’s “UTV Life” and TV3’s “The 6 O’Clock Show” and major Irish radio playlisting, his music has stretched far beyond its quiet beginnings of his bedroom studio.

Recently, Denvir has been releasing a trilogy of EPs: &#34;Sticks&#34;, &#34;Stones&#34; and &#34;Bones&#34;. These are themed around Sigmund Freud&#39;s theory of personality, where every person is defined by a balance of 3 individual parts. The first EP &#34;Sticks&#34; represents hesitancy and anxiety. The second EP &#34;Stones&#34; is a headstrong approach to life. The final EP &#34;Bones&#34; represents a healthy balance between the two. Lead singles from &#34;Sticks&#34; (&#34;Ghost&#34; &amp; &#34;Stay&#34;) topped the &#34;RTE Radio One Recommends&#34; playlist and were selected by Spotify for Irish curated playlists &#34;An Alternative Eire&#34; and &#34;Irish Lads&#34;. Second EP &#34;Stones&#34; has had lead single &#34;This Could Be Love&#34; featured by Scott Mills and Chris Stark on BBC Radio 5 Live, Janice Long on BBC Radio Wales and Gemma Bradley on BBC Radio ATL Introducing.
