Mr Billy Fitzgerald

“One of Ireland's most exciting voices… Billy's songwriting ability and level of musicianship is astonishing” - The Beat

Meet Mr Billy Fitzgerald, the Dublin-based solo artist who’s been quietly taking the Irish indie-pop scene by storm. With anthemic tracks that effortlessly blend tales of heartbreak with danceable grooves, Billy’s songs are as emotional as they are infectious. He relates stories of lost loves and romantic regrets, delivered through upbeat melodies, catchy choruses, and a soaring falsetto that’s impossible to ignore. With a knack for witty, self-aware lyrics, he describes his sound as “songs about heartbreak that make you want to dance.”

Drawing inspiration from icons like Prince, Beck, and David Byrne, Billy's sound lands somewhere between funky grooves and new-wave anthems. If you’re a fan of bands like Bell X1 and Republic of Loose, you’ll find plenty to love in Billy’s high-energy, genre-blending style.

Before going solo, Billy fronted the popular Dublin rockers The Dead Flags, a group that rose through the pop-rock scene in Ireland for several years. With the band, he toured Europe, played huge stages, and even scored a Top 30 hit in Ireland.

After a break from the spotlight, Billy has spent the last few years honing his solo craft, performing across Ireland and slowly building a small but dedicated fanbase. His music, combined with his inventive online videos, has made him a quietly rising star in the indie-pop world, gaining attention from publications like Hot Press and earning regular airplay on stations like 2XM. Thousands of fans have already tuned in to his catchy singles and quirky music videos on social media and YouTube.

Billy’s debut album, "A Grand Romantic Gesture", is the culmination of years of creative exploration. Self-recorded in locations ranging from bedrooms in Sligo and living rooms in Dublin to the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London, the album blends genres from soul and 80s funk to hip-hop, all while showcasing Billy’s incredible vocal range. It’s a deeply personal collection of songs about heartbreak and healing, yet each track is paired with a pulse-pounding rhythm that makes it impossible not to move to.
