After leaving school he attended the Royal Irish Academy of Music for three years, studying composing, during which time he was awarded two composition scholarships.

[9] , The Irish Times described his album Chalant – Memento Mori as "a richly rewarding work that runs the full, glorious gamut of human emotion".

Fascinating, and well worth the time required to properly immerse oneself in the weird and wonderful contents of Roger Doyle's head."
