ARREN is a Dublin based, Limerick born artist who blends the scale of iconic 90's and 2000's pop-rock with the intimacy of singer-songwriter, having inspirations including Radiohead, Oasis, Mumford & Sons, Hudson Taylor and U2. His sound is known for "combining vintage sounds with modern-day execution". ARREN also represented Limerick at the Irish Youth Music Awards at Croke Park, played various venues such as Dolan's, Live at Pery Square, Live at the Big Top, and often plays acoustic sessions at Whelan's, Sin É and Fibber Magee's.
Having released his pop rock summer anthem 'It Takes One to Know' in July 2024, ARREN gears up to continue with his new era of music. 'It Takes One to Know' saw big success across the Irish music industry, getting placements on a number of top Irish Spotify playlists such as IMRO New Music and First Music Contact's Made in Ireland, was played on top radio stations like Clare FM including a live interview, as well as many articles on music magazines and blogs. The music video for 'It Takes One to Know' only helped push the single along more, getting the number three spot on Puremzine's Fresh Top 20 music Videos in Ireland.
ARREN has big plans for the future, having just finished recording his debut 12 track album titled ‘Dark Earth’. Featured on the album is his latest single ‘Dreams We Missed’, released on November 6th, a nostalgic pop rock hit that transports you back to the care-free days of childhood. With the fusion of multiple electric guitars and foundational synthesiser soundscapes, 'Dreams We Missed' creates a dream-like sensation of adolescent wistfulness.
Commenting on the single, ‘Dreams We Missed’, ARREN said, “This song is very near and dear to my heart as it reflects on the beginning of my musical journey. Nothing compares to the joy of writing and playing music with your best friend as a child and having no responsibilities to get you down. This song is the first single from my upcoming debut 12 track album, ‘Dark Earth’ that has been 5 years in the making. I’m looking forward to sharing ‘Dreams We Missed’ with the world and evoking a sense of nostalgia in listeners.”
