She issued her debut release The Fall earlier this year, which describes her longing for a sense of home. With no label, manager, or PR, Fia earned herself support from major streaming platforms as well as regular plays on Irish national radio.
She then signed an independent record deal which saw her release 3 back-to-back tracks between August and late October, to much critical acclaim, and has been dubbed as one to watch by the Official UK Charts company.
