Cian Ducrot

[1] Ducrot grew up in Passage West in Cork, Ireland, where his mother was a concert pianist and flautist.

[2] In 2016, Ducrot auditioned for the fifth season of The Voice UK, but did not turn a chair singing "One More Night".

[5] A couple of years into his schooling in London, Ducrot took a trip to Los Angeles, that inspired him to pursue his dream of becoming a pop artist instead of a classical flautist.

[9] This was followed by "Chewing Gum" in August,[6][10] "Make Believe" in September[11] "Hello Gorgeous", which is an ode to resilient Women in November[12] and "Happier Without Me" in December 2021.

Most of the EP was made throughout lockdown and the pandemic so it was a lot of days and nights alone and of course on the other side of the planet away from my team at Darkroom & Interscope.

[18] In a live video of the song, the musician is joined by the Royal Northern College of Music Student Choir.

[20][21] Ducrot's debut studio album Victory was released on 4 August 2023 and reached number one in Ireland.
