Brian Deady is no longer Irish pop’s invisible man
SEVERAL months ago, soul singer Brian Deady vanished. “People were asking: ‘where the hell is your music?’” he says. “I’d get these emails — do you know what you are doing with your career?”
Deady, from Skibbereen, Co Cork, had erased practically his entire online presence. His two independently released albums, Interview and Non-Fiction, were pulled from Spotify and iTunes; visitors to his Soundcloud page were greeted with the stark message “nothing to hear here”. The artist, widely acclaimed as one of the country’s most intriguing new talents, had become the invisible man of Irish pop.
