"I am a storyteller. My songs say so."
Sióbhan, Sió, sio-ROI, The Twilight child, King is a storyteller, who uses music and poetry to tell her stories.
Music came to her by accident. The Ennerdale native was asked to sing in choirs throughout her childhood but she was never given any leads.
Writing was harder. She struggled writing and composing anything. At 16 when she wrote her first sound poem, at 17 her first song which “...was a complicated jumble of lyrics I had fit into a song I liked but couldn’t get a hold of because we couldn’t afford to buy music..." and she got the melody wrong.
She derives inspiration from the music itself, the world around her, books and often gravitates towards dark metaphors and images sighting pain as one of her greatest muses. Her style is a product of a love the music she was exposed to as a child.
She is one of the Founding members of, and lead vocalist for the house outfit called ‘Project 5, now known as Project X ’ who released their 5 track debut EP with Peng Africa in December 2014 called ‘Short Encounters,’ and their second EP Called ‘Eclipse,’ was released on the 17 August 2014 under the label Marubini Entertainment.
