White Collar Boy are Mark Cummins and Gavin White, a two-piece electronic band that formed in Dublin in 2011. Since their initial release ‘Kinsale’ the pair have become a mainstay on the Irish festival scene playing everywhere from Forbidden Fruit to Body & Soul and more boutique festivals such as Drop Everything .
The Dublin based, electronic musician, Sean Arthur or
Kobina (as he is more commonly known) pulls together diverse and disparate musical strands to create a uniquely textured and emotive sound. In 2013, Kobina released his debut album ‘Ahome E.P’ and more recently in 2016, released a follow up entitled ‘Sentinel Island’. Both albums have been received enthusiastically with prominent reviews from Goldenplec, Nialler9, The Last Mixed Tape and many more. The artist have also been praised for his recent collaborations with reknowned Irish vocalist Blooms and London duo 4am.
