I came to music
quite late, maybe sixteen, when I started to learn to play guitar. With major
encouragement from my brother Peter, I started to write songs and we began to
play small gigs and make demos at home. I attended Trinity College in Dublin
for an amazing "academic" year before I had to tell the Dean I'd been
offered a recording deal by Capitol Records in Los Angeles and I wouldn't be
coming back. He told me I was crazy but wished me good luck all the same.
Since then Peter
and I have recorded four albums as 'The Devlins', along with some amazing
musicians, producers and friends. We've toured all over the world and music has
afforded me the opportunity to meet a huge amount of wonderful, varied and
interesting people from many walks of life. I hope I’ve taken these experiences
and somehow drawn upon them to help me make this first solo record.
Montreal has
always been a very inspiring place for me, it's full of life and art and drama,
a perfect place to write and record music. I made Democracy Of One there with
my Producer Pierre Marchand for all of those reasons. Pierre has been a long
time friend and collaborator, so he was the obvious choice to produce this
record.
We had the luxury
of time on this one, which is not necessarily always a good thing, but Pierre
had just built a great new studio and I willingly became the guinea pig for his
new experiment. We did it in a couple of recording stints which really helped,
as we got to think about what we had recorded and revisit it with fresh ears.
It's pretty much a 3 piece on the album consisting of myself on guitars and
vocals, Pierre on bass and piano and our friend Matt Chamberlain on drums – a
true collaboration for all the right reasons. I wanted to keep it as sparse and
direct as I could and I think we succeeded in that.
I love to write
songs, play music and perform. It's not a job for me. It never has been. It's who I am.
It's kind of that simple.
