Cork native Mark Daly is an Irish rock singer/songwriter who has been releasing his best music yet. His recent single ‘Pieces’ featuring Emily Armstrong is nearing 25k streams on Spotify with some other previous releases such as ‘Gotta Run’ hitting over 114k streams, making Mark a hot one to watch!

His sound is raw, energetic rock music that has influences from classic rock, post-grunge and modern-rock, creating a unique blend that is Mark’s signature sound.

One early highlight in Mark’s career was performing at the MTV EMA Awards with The Voodoos, after beating 10,000+ bands from Europe for the slot. From there, Mark and the band began to tour throughout Europe and the USA. While honing their skills along the way, Mark made the decision to go solo. His first venture as a solo artist hit number 1 on the Scottish New Music Charts with his autism awareness charity solo single Your World inspired by his son, Noah.  

Mark’s fiery vocals and rock artistry have never been up for debate. After building an impressive following touring with Geoff Tate and Candlebox.

Mark recently finished recording at the famed Sonic Ranch Studios with Grammy-nominated producer Brian Virtue (Audioslave, 30 Seconds to Mars).

“Working with Brian at Sonic Ranch has been the best recording experience I’ve had in my music career to date”. Mark states.

Mark’s evolution as an artist will be seen in his new work set to come out soon with his goal to load up the home support in Ireland. His brand new single ‘Better Off Alone’ releases june 21st ahead of his highly anticipated new album ‘Devil’s Arms’.

“My songwriting over the last few years has matured and I believe that I write  more honestly and from the heart now while still maintaining that same raw songwriting  style I started off with”.

Mark’s next song and video release is ‘Better Off Alone’ which will be available on June 21st on all streaming and video platforms. 

“Out of all the songs on this album, I feel like
Better Off Alone will have the broadest appeal. The song touches on insecurities, imposter syndrome, and feeling like you’re messed up but knowing you can find your
way out of the dark. So many of us have been there. I want people to know they’re not alone in those feelings and that they can find their way forward” says Daly.

Mark wrote ‘Better Off Alone’ as a raw and honest rock anthem that captures the struggles and triumphs of chasing your dreams in the music industry. This song delves into the constant questioning of one’s worth and staying true to your artistic vision while navigating the pressures of the industry. If you’re in need of a powerful and relatable track to inspire you on your own journey, give ‘Better Off Alone’ a listen and feel the passion and authenticity behind the music.
