From the west of Ireland, Emmet O'Malley developed his unique blend of heartfelt, poetic songwriting by playing in local pubs and through busking on the streets of his native Galway. He released his debut EP 'The Smell Of Bees' and his debut album 'Playtime' in 2011, leading to tours of Ireland, the UK and Europe. In 2014, not long after moving to London, he released the EP, 'Four Stories Four Songs' which was completed at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. Combined with story-telling, the EP went on to become a full show at the 2014 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

In 2020, O'Malley released his second album, 'A Human Response' which includes the singles, ‘Surrender’, ‘Love Each Other’ and ‘Other Than’. The album was entirely produced and recorded at home and included lyrical themes ranging from spiritual yearning and social injustice to mental health and addiction.

Emmet has become renowned on the London scene for his passionate, humorous and engaging solo acoustic performances. He is currently writing material for a new album which he hopes to release and tour in 2024.
