ARTIST BIO

Hailing from Roscommon, ARLENE is a rising singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist making waves in the Irish music scene. Her sound is a distinctive blend of indie-pop and alt-rock, fused with experimental beats that push genre boundaries.

ARLENE gained national and international recognition in 2020 with her breakout single Send Me Any Sign, earning a spot as one of BBC Radio Introducing’s Top 5 Artists of the Week. Her follow-up track somebody else solidified her momentum, making her Artist of the Month across several Irish radio stations including Cork’s 96FM, Q102, LMFM, and Limerick’s Live 95.

After taking a step back to write and refine her craft, ARLENE returned in 2024 with Longshot — a bold new release already garnering radio support in the UK and Canada.

With performances at major Irish venues like Whelan’s, The Workman’s Club, and The Sound House, and festival appearances at Night & Day, K-Fest, TNBT, and Whelan’s Ones to Watch, ARLENE has built a reputation for electrifying live shows and genre-defying sets.

 

Unapologetically bold and creatively fearless, ARLENE is one of Ireland’s most compelling new voices — and she’s just getting started.
