Gemma Dunleavy: Proud of her northside roots as she brings a slice of reality to her music
Gemma Dunleavy plays at Kino in Cork on the weekend of Sept 26-27.
Dublin singer and producer Gemma Dunleavy is proud of her roots in the northside of the capital. The Sheriff Street and North Wall communities from which she hails don't get a fair hearing, she believes, so she's happy to offer a more-rounded picture through her music.
Most notably, Up De Flats, her most recent EP, combines deeply personal balladry with R&B and UK Garage production on a release that's been winning heaps of praise.
