MIRANDA FAUL
Irish singer-songwriter Miranda Faul is a rising star whose music defies easy classification. With a captivating fusion of folk, pop, R&B, and soul, Faul’s sound is as eclectic as it is enchanting. Her distinctive voice, paired with unconventional melodies and deeply introspective lyrics, creates a listening experience that is both compelling and cathartic.
Miranda’s songwriting explores a wide range of topics, ranging from the raw intensity of heartbreak and childhood trauma to the complex contradictions of modern life. Her songs resonate with a poignant authenticity, offering both darkly reflective and uplifting moments.
Growing up in musical households in Sligo and Kildare, Miranda was immersed in music from a young age; she learned to play the acoustic guitar as soon as she could hold one. Influenced by a rich tapestry of artists including Adele, Dido,
Jorja Smith, and Lisa Hannigan, she started writing her own songs at 19.
Miranda started performing solo at Dublin’s open mics in 2022. Since then, her project has grown to a full-band ensemble, bringing her dynamic performances to esteemed venues such as Whelan’s, The Sound House, The Grand Social, Sin E, Fibber Magees, and The Crowbar Terrace in Dublin, as well as The Macbeth and Dingwalls in London, in 2024 alone.
This year has also seen Miranda release three compelling singles: the dark folk-pop ballad “24,” the R&B-infused “Not Much Of A Man,” and the electrifying pop anthem “Delicate,” which earned acclaim as Hot Press Magazine’s Track Of The Day. As Miranda puts it, “if I write a sad folk song that I love one day, and an upbeat R&B diss-track the next, they both belong in my discography. I don’t want to stay in one genre; I want to have fun with my music and experiment.”
Miranda is releasing her highly-anticipated debut EP on November 8th 2024. Celebrate the release with her at a special EP launch gig at Whelan’s Upstairs on November 12th, where she’ll be joined by her four-piece band and supported by local bands RVE and Foinse.
