Details:
ONYA is Irelandâs most exciting singer songwriter. She has been a full-time musician
for the past four years, writing, recording and touring world wide. She first came to the
attention of the Irish media when she appeared on Irelandâs âyouâre a starâ TV program.
A year later, she was chosen as Irelandâs most promising singer-songwriter for TVâs
âthis noteâs for youâ program. The darling of Irish media and original music for some time,
she is keen to develop beyond this market.

Onya comes from Bundoran, a popular surf town on Irelandâs North-West Coast.
Bundoran is noted for its bohemian culture- a fusion of traditional Irish values with a
lively and very contemporary music and surf scene. Known locally as a surf chick,
Onyaâs funky style and irrepressible attitude have made her a very popular, original and interesting singer-songwriter.

Having played the Irish circuit between 2005/2006, Onya began touring in the USA,
road-testing her impressive song collection to an American audience. She travelled
to New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, Dallas, San Diego & Boston, performing
in venues such as The Roxy, CBGBâs, Sin E, The Saint & Sweetwater.

She returned to Ireland in 2007, and selected 20 songs to demo for her debut CD. She
continued to perform live, touring Europe and doing a residency in Las Vegas on the way.
She recorded a 20-track demo titledâSecrets and Liesâ in her home town of Bundoran. These
twenty songs are the songs most requested at her gigs, and most downloaded on her
myspace, bebo & sonicbids sites.

She has returned to Los Angeles with a view to producing and releasing her debut CD

Often compared to a young Janis Joplin, Onyaâs style combines the traditional musical
expertise of the Irish with a very contemporary and rock-chick attitude. Her themes reflect
her upbringing in a small irish rural town, which has been dragged into the 21st century. She
explores the contradiction of the virgin and the harlot, the role of women in todayâs world,
but always with terrific energy and gusto. Her amazing vocals can deliver the sweetest
ballads (The Mistress) and the raunchiest of innuendo-filled rock tunes (Johnny Depp)

Onya is something fresh, exciting and original. Her live performences are reinforced by
her engaging dialogue with her audiences, energetic delivery, great guitar playing and always
a great and sexy look.

This demo features five songs from the collection of twenty.
