Jessica Brett

After nearly a decade of writing songs across various projects, the Clonmel native shifted her focus to solo work in 2022, debuting with the superb single ‘Bye Bye’. Citing the likes of Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo as inspirations, Brett was a New Local Hero finalist last year. For good measure, the past 12 months also saw her release the crystalline tearjerker, ‘Grow Old With You’ – another milestone as the singer continues to build momentum.
