Born on the west coast of Ireland, songwriter and artist Honas draws his creative spirit from
the unique years of his childhood. Growing up along the rugged coastline, speaking the Irish
language and throwing himself into Gaelic football; but a portion of his early years were
spent living in Guyana, South America, where his obsession with music was ignited. This
diverse cultural exposure, coupled with a newfound appreciation for classic Western
songwriting upon his return to Ireland, moulded Honas' musical identity. His tender, intimate
vocals and emotionally charged songwriting give birth to tracks that effortlessly transform
into irresistibly catchy ear worms.
After joining Lisa Hannigan, Saint Sister & Nealo at the musical pilgrimage and performance
Hibernacle in 2020, Honas spent the next years working behind the scenes, honing his craft
and collaborating on projects such as songwriter & vocals for the 2022 Google Year in
Search video, gaining almost 300 million views as well as his song “Control” with German
producer LO amassing 20 million streams to date. Honas' sonic evolution, guided by
experiences in studios across London, Berlin and Vienna alongside acclaimed producers
(The 1975, Inhaler, Interpol, Florence & the Machine, La Roux, Warpaint and The Killers),
has paved the way for his debut single, "Everyday Life" out on 10th November 2023, with
more to follow in early 2024.
