St. Bishop

Pop // Castleblayney, Dublin // He / Him

St. Bishop is a queer electro-pop artist from Monaghan, Ireland. His bold, unapologetic songs project feelings of hope, honesty and reverence, blending genres of electro-pop, soul, & indie as freely as he delves into issues of sexuality, love & radical self-acceptance.

He channels his experiences into his writing and continues to counsel himself & explore what it means to be queer in modern-day Ireland. The resulting tracks are propulsive and powerful, carrying St. Bishop's stories intricately.

Sounding akin to contemporaries such as Joesef, Sam Smith, and Joan, his glossy-pop sound shows incredible mainstream potential. Layered harmonies and shimmery synths weave their way into your ears, urging you to move your hips and make your way onto the dance floor.

Throughout the years, St. Bishop has been championed by tastemakers like The405, Variance, Nialler9, The Last Mixed Tape, GCN, Hot Press, Golden Plec, MCD, and IMRO, alongside support from Spotify and Apple Music's editorial playlists.

His 2022 self-titled sophomore EP is an elegant evolution from previous work and a big step forward sonically, emotionally and commercially, with leading single 'Talking To You' reaching no.1 in the iTunes Irish Top 100 and Alt Pop charts and the project garnering 1.5 million impressions on Irish radio with support from BBC Introducing, RTE 2FM, Today FM, Spin, FM104, iRadio & to name but a few.

Tipped as one of Irelands' best live acts' - (Fegal D'Arcy TodayFM), St. Bishop has performed on stages in Ireland, London and New York - with standout headline shows and festival appearances (Dublin Pride, Mother's Summer Block Party, Electric Picnic, Sofar Sounds NY, Sounds Queer).

Alongside the St. Bishop project, Stephen has worked in this Irish music industry for the last number of years, making his heart and passion felt at festivals and events across Ireland, championing Irish music, community and diversity.
