I\u2019m Owen Rua, a singer-songwriter from Tralee, a small town in Co. Kerry, Ireland. I recently moved to London, which has been a bit of a culture shock, going from a place where you know everyone on the street to a city where you can get lost just trying to change Tube lines. My music is pop with a soulful, emotional edge. I write a lot about my own ups and downs, self-discovery, and connection, and I always try to keep it honest and heartfelt, but also melodic and fun to sing along to.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m so excited for this show, especially since it falls on my birthday, which makes it feel extra special. I\u2019ll be playing a set of original songs, including a brand-new single that\u2019s coming very soon. My shows usually blend catchy pop hooks with emotional moments, and I like to talk and share stories between songs, so no two sets are ever quite the same. Expect energy, honesty, and probably a little bit of birthday chaos.<\/p>\n
