Dublin singer--songwriter Theo Fitzgibbon has released his debut single, Waterfall. We asked him the BIG questions . . .
Previously lead vocalist and songwriter for League of Nation, Theo attended IMW in London to study music production.
Speaking about Waterfall, he says, "Waterfall is a tune I am really proud of, it's what my music is all about: punchy, catchy music with a belter of a chorus and amazing production, in this case from the incredibly talented Marc Carolan."
The song was produced by Marc Carolan (Muse) and features Jake Curran (guitarist for Niall Horan) Kev Corcoran (keyboardist for Villagers) and Rob Malone (bassist for Villagers, David Gray).
Tell us three things about yourself . . .
Hiking has a monumentally positive impact on my life when I remember to do it. I used to think I was born in the wrong decade, then I stopped thinking that. Now I’m starting to think it again. I’m fond of an old winter sea dip but I hate people who talk about it all the time.
