"A songwriter of subtle complexity that belies his tender years" - Daily Mirror

Training as a young orchestral viola player, Belfast-born Owen Denvir was drawn by the alternative sound of Bon Iver over Bach. These two styles of music influence his songwriting, which Hot Press magazine have described as "honest, personal... complex and affecting".

"Honest and personal song-craft, paired with beautiful vocals... This Northern star is rising fast" - Hot Press magazine

Owen's DIY production has totalled over 100,000 streams on Spotify and 2,000,000 views on videos across Facebook and Youtube, even drawing the attention of Coldplay on Twitter. Coupled with support slots for dodie, JC Stewart and Ryan McMullan as well as Irish TV appearances on BBC 1's "Nolan Live", ITV's "UTV Life" and TV3's "The 6 O'Clock Show" and major Irish radio playlisting, his music has stretched far beyond its quiet beginnings of his bedroom studio.

Over the course of the next 12 months, Denvir will be releasing a trilogy of EPs: "Sticks", "Stones" and "Bones", which encompass Freud's theory of personality (3 individual parts which form one whole). Lead singles from "Sticks" ("Ghost" & "Stay") have topped the "RTE Radio One Recommends" playlist and were selected by Spotify for Irish curated playlist "An Alternative Eire".

"One of the finest talents around in Northern Ireland today" - Ralph McLean, BBC Radio Ulster

After spending the last year collaborating with the charity 'Live Music Now' - who provide professional music for care homes and special schools - Owen recorded and produced the album "Music & Memories: Voices of Belfast" alongside Peter J. McCauley (of Rams' Pocket Radio). This side-project compiled performances and stories from residents of Belfast care homes, resulting in a unique set of arrangements featuring guitar, piano, viola and ukulele, bringing together voices from across the city in a blend of nostalgia and Belfast wit.

"Lyrically and vocally expressive... Denvir's classical background provides an intricately delicate musical scaffold" - State.ie

Shauna has a diverse style of writing but concentrated on creating her unique brand of high energy alternative rock/pop music regularly - which has been performed live under the synonym of 'Silhouette'.

She has sessioned for and tour managed various N.I outfits (such as RAMS' Pocket Radio) and has even had her song 'Can't Keep Up' used as the Northern Irish Tourism Advertising anthem throughout the years of 2012 and 2013.
