ABOUT
Barney O’Driscoll is an eighteen-year-old singer, songwriter and spoken word artist based in the West Midlands. From a young age, Barney was classically trained on the cello but had to stop playing due to illness. Whilst in hospital, he discovered his love for songwriting and music as a whole. At the age of fourteen, Barney started performing on the streets of Birmingham and surrounding areas where he’d attract crowds of people who would stop and listen to his unique sound and original music. In late 2017, this young musician landed the opportunity of performing at Camden Roundhouse supporting The Stereophonics and David Gray and is soon to release his second single titled ‘Broken But Fixable’.
