Ciaran grew up in the inner city of Belfast, Northern Ireland during difficult times. He began writing songs at a young age and formed a small band touring the pubs in Belfast. In 2009 he made the decision to split from his band and take the path of a solo artist to give himself the freedom to write, record and perform his own songs in whichever format he chose, solo or with a band. He soon found himself working on shows and tours with many artists including Paul McCartney, The Script, Gotye, Powderfinger and James Morrison amongst others whilst co-writing with various artists including Paul Oakenfold, Groove Armada and William Orbit. In 2009, whilst on tour in Australia he met INXS band member and co-writer of all of their classic songs Andrew Farriss and they struck up an immediate friendship.
