Irish pop artist Shobsy – releases new  optimistic bop ‘Silver Line Livin’

After a whirlwind 12 months including performances in LA and across Europe, signing an international publishing deal, signing to influential UK label SO Recordings, Shobsy released
his debut  EP ‘Own The Night’ EP last Autumn.

Having completed a 14 date UK & European tour with SO Recordings labelmates MY BABY in November and December. He also performed at SXSW in March and was the Special Guest performer at The International Music Industry Person of the Year Award presentation to Jacqueline Saturn (President Virgin Music Group North America) in Los Angeles.

Shobsy has just returned from another successful trip to Los Angeles and in April completed a sold out run of dates across the country including stops at Mike The Pies (Listowel) and at Coughlans in Cork. He also performed at the Greenfields Festival in County Laois.

Shobsy has also performed numerous sold out shows at prestigious Irish venues over the past year including at Whelan’s, The National Concert Hall and The Academy. In 2025 he signed an International publishing deal with Pangea Music Publishing (partnered with Sony Music Publishing) and a recording contract with SO Recordings (Big Special, Public Sector Broadcasting, Placebo).

Dance Or Cry’ (the first release from the ‘Own The Night’ EP) reached Number 4 on the Irish Radio Breakers Chart and achieved significant airplay on Ireland’s most listened to station RTE Radio 1 and was ‘Track of the Week’ on RTE 2fm as well as being playlisted on stations such as Sydney Radio in Australia and on Radio Excalibur in Greece. 
In July he was one of a handful of Irish acts (alongside Dermot Kennedy & Gavin James) invited to perform at a special Irish Music Industry showcase event hosted by the President of Ireland at the President’s residence in Dublin

Fans of George Michael, David Bowie & The Weeknd are in for a treat as Shobsy’s new recordings in Berlin & Dublin embodies each of them through their genre-hopping rhythm, crossing the boundaries of synth pop into R&B. This Dubliner’s natural vocal ability, showmanship yet grounded charismatic personable character has already gained him a significant legion of fans
