Nuala O'Halpin is a singer-songwriter born and raised in North London and now based in Hertfordshire. She has Irish and Spanish family roots, and those influences shape her writing and performance style.

Career

Before performing as a solo artist, she is a member of the South London bands Melontribe and Scary Big Fish. She later establishes herself as a songwriter and live performer, appearing at acoustic venues around central London and on radio.

Music style

Her songs combine melody with lyrics that are often challenging and sometimes cynical. They draw on a folk-tinged Celtic feel from her Irish father and a Latin influence from her Spanish mother, giving her work a mixed and emotionally direct character.

Live performance

She performs either alone with her guitar or with a band of musicians.
