Shobsy released his new single ‘Entertainment’ in July. The track has garnered a lot of radio play including being ‘Track of the Week’ on 2fm. Shobsy releases his new single “Champagne” on October 18th.
Apart from Performing as Special Guest at The International Music Industry Person of the Year Award presentation to Jacqueline Saturn (President Virgin Music Group North America) Shobsy has performed numerous sold out shows at prestigious Irish venues over the past year including at The Workman’s Club, The National Concert Hall and Whelan’s. In July he was one of a handful of Irish acts (alongside Dermot Kennedy & Gavin James) invited to perform at a special Irish Music Industry showcase event hosted by the President of Ireland at the President’s residence in Dublin.
A performance on Ireland’s Biggest TV show ‘The Late Late Show’ would lead to far reaching additional attention for this Dublin based singer, songwriter and live performer. Shobsy performed a special acoustic re-working of the Jimmy Somerville classic, Smalltown Boy on the show; vocals with piano accompaniment. It was sublime in its sentiment and delivery and the audience reacted; Shobsy’s Late Late Show version of Smalltown Boy went viral and clocked up over 100k views in 12 hours. You can watch it right here;
He was also one of the star performers at Ireland Music Week in 2022. Shobsy has performed numerous times with the RTE Concert Orchestra performing songs from David Bowie, Phil Lynott at sold out shows at the National Concert Hall and at the Bord Gais Energy Theatre.
Fans of George Michael, David Bowie, and The Weekend are in for a treat as Shobsy’s new recordings in Berlin embodies each of them through the recordings' genre-hopping rhythm, crossing the boundaries of synth pop into R&B. This Dubliner’s natural vocal ability, showmanship yet grounded charismatic personable character has already gainedhim a legion of fans. We are so excited not just for you to hear his new recordings but also for us all to watch where this superb artist takes us next.
