Hailing from Derry in Northern Ireland, ROE left college to travel the world playing festivals and to focus on writing songs that felt grounded. Her 2020 EP ‘Things We Don’t Talk About’ saw ROE cross 1 million streams on Spotify and was the culmination of four years of relentless writing, releasing and touring as a completely independent artist.
At 18 years old she received a coveted slot on the BBC Introducing Stage at Glastonbury in 2017, which led her on to perform across Europe, North America, India, and beyond; supporting local legends Snow Patrol on their 2018/19 UK Arena Tour. ROE’s music has been used as part of a TV and radio campaign for BBC Music NI, in ITV’s ‘The Only Way is Essex’,Channel 4’s ‘Made in Chelsea’, and Netflix’s ‘Terrace House’.Â
On her latest single “Alarms”, ROE delivers an introspective slow jam in the folk-pop vein of Angel Olsen. Warm guitar tones and scattered piano flourishes soften the blow of exposed anxieties and feeling’s of self-doubt elegantly laid bare through skillful storytelling. ROE released her debut album That’s When The Panic Sets In on September 23rd, 2022.Â
