Kiruu

Other // Dublin

Kiruu's sound was formed with influence from his East African upbringing and European roots (Ireland/UK/Spain). His music varies from slow indie to stomping swing via rumba, trip hop, and reggae, sung in different languages (English, Swahili, Spanish, and French). Based in Dublin, Kiruu plays with a band with dynamic and diverse musicians from the Dublin scene.

Kiruu's new single "Kyanite", a funky banger that effortlessly blends elements of pop, disco, and rock to deliver a rhythmic story of lifelong, unrequited love, is out on April 1st 2025 on all platforms.

In June 2024 Kiruu released "Mbingu" which was featured on RTE Arena and received acclaimed reviews from Tony Clayton-Lea and the Last Mixedtape, who called it "The Song of the Summer".

A brand new music video for Equinox was shot and released in the summer of 2022.

In 2022-24, Kiruu took back to the scene post pandemic with festival shows in Electric Picnic, All Together Now, Vantastival, Westival, Battle for the Lake, Healing Bridges, Elements of Change, Culture Night, Africa Day, Bloom, Healing Hearth, Planet Rhythm, Fuinneamh, Ealu Le Grá, Body and Soul, and more.

In 2019 Kiruu released his album "Super Feo Express". Positive reviews including song of the week came from Nialler9, Hotpress, and artist of the month from Cassandra Voices. He also released the "Nyumbani" single and music video.

In 2017 he released the single "Síocháin", featuring Kíla's Rónán Ó Snodaigh.
