Enda is truly an amazing artist! It only takes one introduction to Enda to know he is one of the most gifted, optimistic and unassuming new spirits in music! His songs portray a warmth and honesty possessed by few others. On stage is where Enda really comes alive. His ability to connect with his audience is second to none, and the ease with which he delivers his craft is near perfection.

Enda grew up in the small village of Owning in County Kilkenny, on the east coast of Ireland. Enda’s first love for music was revealed on his tenth birthday when given his first guitar. By the age of sixteen, Enda was playing many local talent shows and performing with the Carrick on Suir Operatic Society. Enda left high school after being told that music would just be a “hobby”, and that he should pursue a career in woodworking.

He began performing throughout the Irish countryside by night, while working ten-hour shifts in the cabbage fields by day. One evening, an American businessman and his wife watched Enda perform, and made him a life-altering proposal: they offered Enda a full scholarship to the Shenandoah Conservatory of Music in Virginia. This was an offer he could not refuse.

Enda pursued his education with great passion, making the most of this rare opportunity. After graduation, Enda continued to write and perform his original music, until joining the band Surrey Lane. Their single “Some Days” was a Top 100 hit on the AC charts. They were also featured on ABC Radio who gave notice to their 9/11 tribute-song “Love Must Grow.”

In November 2005, Enda left Surrey Lane to pursue a solo career, signing a production deal with Los Angeles based producer Peter Stengaard. Peter is best known for his incredible production talent and artist credits (Natasha Bedingfield, Joss Stone, Billy Ray Cyrus) and work with industry leaders (Diane Warren, Carole Bayer Sager). Peter says:

“Enda is a rare talent, one of those unpolished diamonds you quickly realize you need not polish, because it’s already shining”!

Enda recently toured nationwide on the American Idol 2007-08 season (“Rock Your Style Stage”) alongside Constantine Maroulis, performing for thousands of new fans.

With his debut release, “The Bridge”, Enda has created a stellar record with endless crossover appeal. The Bridge features a mix of originals and traditional Irish songs, each coming from the heart and telling their unique story. Recorded at Outloud Audio Studios in NYC, “The Bridge” has something for everyone, from the opening “New York City Morning” to the traditional, “Banks of the Roses, to the anthemic, “One Of These Days”
