Susan O’Neill’s voice and lyrics are charged with emotion, full of nicks and barbs that will catch on your soul. O'Neill (or SON)'s parents encouraged her at a young age to follow her musical curiosity. That curiosity has taken her from the brass bands, choirs and pubs of Ennis, Ireland, to international tours as an electrifying solo performer and co-creator. SON has spent a lifetime honing many crafts and forging her own path, amassing countless awards and die-hard fans along the way. SON is not only a remarkable, versatile force in her own right but she creates, with ease, with others. From collaborations with EDM group, King Kong Company, to award-winning duets with Mick Flannery, SON is a fearless explorer. Her 2024 release, Now in a Minute is a collection of stunning songs that showcase her songwriting and emotional depth. She honours the genres that inspire her such as Irish folk, blues and gospel but, more importantly, she creates music that isn't bound by labels. SON writes, performs and sings because it is simply what she is meant to do. She's a free bird who's got nothing left to hide, an honest kind of liar.
