Biography

Singers Glenn Murphy and Ronan Scolard made their first foray into the public eye through social media, posting videos to Youtube. Feedback was positive but nothing could prepare them for the whirlwind to follow after posting a video performing a medley of Adele songs. The clever arrangement of the tracks combined with their incredible and contrasting voices quickly got noticed. Within hours the video had clocked up over a million views. They realised something extraordinary was happening when they received a message from Ellen DeGeneres asking them to appear on her chat show! The guys had posted to their ever-growing social media base about their excitement at going to see Adele in concert in Dublin. Unknown to them, Adele was already a fan of the video, and when she saw they were coming to the show arranged a little surprise for them: she called them up on stage to perform the medley…which they did, in front of an ecstatic Irish audience. That kicked the media frenzy into an even higher gear and the two guys were inundated with all sorts of crazy requests and offers. However, they set about creating their own sound, spending the next eighteen months writing, recording and touring. Over two years later, and it’s all to play for. While freely admitting that Adele was the pivot by which their lives turned around they also knew that to have any level of creative independence they had to forge a unified identity. Horizon, the duo’s debut album, does just that. <br>
