Local Boy is a Dublin based musician who creates highly idiosyncratic pop music which he
oversees entirely from inception to mastering - having spent years honing his abilities as a
producer and an engineer despite his young age. He invites listeners into his sonic and lyrical world packed with hip-hop beats, colorful guitar chords and creative wordplay.

In the short time he has been releasing music under the Local Boy moniker, he has racked
up millions of Spotify streams, supported international acts such as Easy Life,
Hobo Johnson, and Open Mike Eagle, sold out his several headline gigs in both Dublin and London. In 2022 he signed a lucrative publishing deal with industry giant Peermusic for his original compositions and his burgeoning crafts of production and songwriting. 

Following up on the successful release of the ‘Local Boy Helps Himself’ EP in summer 2021
which saw several tracks added to high-profile Spotify editorial playlists such as ‘New Music
Friday’, ‘Our Generation’, and ‘Peach’ - Local Boy then returned with his well received 2022 single Reality, an honest rumination of the artist's mental health struggles. 

Local Boy is now gearing up for the release of an album which will complete the trilogy he began with his 2019 EP release. The album expands on the themes explored in Local Boy’s previous releases, with several songs critiquing the difficulty of making a living in modern Ireland - Local Boy however never loses his optimistic outlook throughout the record with several tracks including lead single ‘Milkshake Pilltaste’ celebrating life’s simple pleasures.

Milkshake Pilltaste

Step up in the party I’ve got nothing on my body, I can’t go,
Tried to swallow something and I feel my heart stop bumping, I might choke,
Moving through molasses vision blurry through my glasses looks like smoke,
Eyes are all upon me calling on me say it’s time to start the show

My teeth fall out, when I fall asleep,
Most nights but I don’t scream,
I sink into the absurdity that holds me when I dream
I don’t need to fear here, all I need is my warm bed
Beaten by the daytime, here I can just rest my head

Now watch me as my feet just float right off the ground 
Now watch me as I leave this old decaying town
‘Cos here I can confront my fears no fear of confrontation 
When it’s bright outside my mind’s outside to dwell on hesitation
I live with pain and so much shame from awkward situations
I find myself in when did I begin to feel like Larry David

My teeth fall out, when I fall asleep,
Most nights but I don’t scream,
I sink into the absurdity that holds me when I dream
I don’t need to fear here, all I need is my warm bed
Beaten by the daytime, here I can just rest my head

And I’ve had good dreams but even bad dreams,
Can’t be worse than what I’ve seen,
Happening daily,
Close your eyes and escape, please

My teeth fall out, when I fall asleep,
Most nights but I don’t scream,
I sink into the absurdity that holds me when I dream
I don’t need to fear here, all I need is my warm bed
Beaten by the daytime, here I can just rest my head

Teeth

Speculate

My new anthem! Really hoping it gets streams on here because Spotify has slowed right down!
