Victory (Vinyl)

Cian Ducrot is set to cement his rising star status with the release of his eagerly anticipated debut album ‘Victory’

The Irish singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist has seen his recent singles - ‘I’ll Be Waiting’ and ‘All For You’ - fly into the Top 20 of the UK Singles Chart and exceed 300 million global streams to date.

Raised in Cork, Cian was surrounded by music growing up, learning piano, classical guitar, saxophone, percussion, drums, violin and the flute. He studied at London’s Royal Academy of Music from the age of nine and soon felt split between his classical training and his desire to make pop music. He continued his studies while writing songs and posting on social media, but his mind was made up following a successful songwriting camp in Los Angeles. The deciding factor between the two worlds was the ability that a pop artist has to connect with their audience - and that remains a big aspect of his artistry to this day. He was far from an overnight success, however, often borrowing money, busking, surfing sofas and taking on random jobs to fund writing trips to London and LA. His first breakthrough on TikTok led to his debut EP ‘Make Believe’ and he grew in stature with every release, especially when ‘I’ll Be Waiting’ and ‘All For You’ completed his journey from pub gigs in Cork to the upper reaches of the charts.

Cian is also in growing demand as a collaborator and recently was invited to co-write with SZA in Los Angeles, the resulting song set to be released in the future, and he also co-wrote Lauren Spencer-Smith’s global hit single ‘Flowers’.
