Dublin-based singer-songwriter Ylroy is set to bring their distinct songwriting to the Hot Press Y&E Series tonight, Friday 17th of November.
Irish-Filipino singer-songwriter Ylroy's impressive lyricism navigates queer experience, with stripped-back acoustic instrumentation and soft, ethereal vocals, dually channelling the genuine sincerity of folk and the idiosyncratic playfulness of anti-folk. Assuming an intimate and confessional songwriting style, Ylroy's sonic artistry is a unique tapestry of lived experience and inwardly-reflective introspection, charting their experiences as a queer person and the complexities of romantic relationships.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Judee Sill and Moldy Peaches, their craft is remarkably recognisable yet undeniably singular and authentic; an enthralling whirlwind of atypical instrumentation, enchanting soundscapes and incisive self-deprecation.

enchanting melodies, virtousic vocals and atmospheric instrumentation are to be expected, as Ylroy takes centre stage on the Hot Press Instagram for tonight's Y&E live set...
