The Artist: Áine Duffy


Áine Duffy was born in Bandon Cork, Ireland. She is motivated and passionate. She started playing music live at the age of 15. She studied at Music management and sound.Then she travelled internationally performing, from New York, LA, London, Toronto, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Dubai, Switzerland, Holland,Paris and the UK. 
She was invited to NYC to record with Roger Greenawalt(Bruce Springfield, Sophie B Hawkins) and from there built a big following, by keeping true to her own accent, style and sound. 
Throughout this time Áine has also been an advocate for bettering the life of musicians in Ireland, helping with Airplay, attending events both at the US ambassadors house and more. Written as a way of communicate awareness of old-fashioned rules that lead to unkindness and cruelty, they are still here and we have to put them right. Red being the traditional colour of martyrdom, white is symbolic of purity. A different take on the resolution of old problems that don't want to go away, seeing oneself as separate and untainted will help society to grow out of its old clothes.
"I’ll wear white", her latest song is about unkind old rules still Looming in society today, and how we all should just be kind and open minded.
