Biography

Inni-K's music draws on her extensive background in folk and traditional Irish music, as she ventures into new musical territories. Her original songwriting career (‘The Hare & the Line’ 2019 and ‘The King has Two Horse’s Ears’ 2015) combines her unique approach to song-writing with deft musicianship, evocative lyrics and ethereal vocals. Inni-K has shared the stage with such varied and renowned musicians as Malian kora master Toumani Diabaté, Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, jazz drummer Jeff Ballard, Glen Hansard, Wallis Bird, Efterklang, Lisa O Neill, Tiny Ruins, Liam Ó Maonlaí and many more, and she is becoming a well-established presence in Irish music. Inni-K's third studio album, Iníon, is a contemporary sean-nós album. Release date 11 February 2022. Over nine tracks, Inni-K searches out the beauty, tradition and ancient pathos of sean-nós in a contemporary, vital and unique reimagining. She is a singer both reaching back into a deeply held tradition, while simultaneously pressing out against its very edges. Inni-K sets out to create a re-hearing, in a way, of something dear, something essential, and in doing so, she has – with fellow collaborators – created a bold, new and contemporary experience of sean-nós song for her listener. inni-k.com
