Darren Kiely

Hailing from a quaint town in Co. Cork, Ireland, Darren Kiely’s folk-infused pop sound originates from his inherited love of traditional Irish music, intertwined with modern influences such as The Lumineers and Dermot Kennedy. At just five years old, Darren learned the tin whistle, and at eight

years old he picked up the fiddle, eventually teaching himself to play guitar as well. Darren began singing in 2019, quickly garnering attention for his raw and fervent vocals and emotive delivery. After winning numerous honours at a national level in Irish traditional music, Darren found his way to

New York in 2022 to continue developing his own music and sound.
