Oscar Wilkins

I'm a Dublin-based singer-songwriter and I discovered a passion for music in my teens. I was raised in a family with a strong musical influence, my journey into the world of music began at the age of 16. It was during this time that the music of Oasis captivated my heart and led me to pick up a guitar, driven by a desire to master their iconic songs.

In my early school years, My enthusiasm for music led me to form my own band, where I explored and
honed my musical and performance talents. Eager to make my mark in the music world, I began sharing cover songs, a move that was partly motivated by the desire to impress the opposite sex. From here I moved on to the Ballyfermot College, The Rock School, where I furthered my musical education and embarked on a journey to advance my music career. The diverse musical environment of the school opened doors to new possibilities and experiences.

A significant source of inspiration for me is The Weeknd, drawing from the artist's distinctive vocals,
including his captivating falsetto, as well as his production techniques featuring 808 beats, synthesizers, and basslines. Ive also recently begun to add other styles and genres to this style with dance and heavy metal two genres I'm keen to splice with this alternative RnB sound.

If I could describe my music in a sentence I would describe it as action packed with intensity and honesty, and trying to explore the human condition. A piece of art that has hugely influenced me in this regard is the movie Apocalypse Now because of its intensity and it tells a great tale of the human experience. I feel there are not many artists in Ireland currently taking this approach to music and I feel there's an openness to it in Ireland and beyond.
