"Alien Envoy, alter ego of a reclusive twenty something Irish artist currently based in New York. Often seen guitar slinging around clubs in the Lower East Side, seeking out board in Alphabet city, sometime inhabitant of Brooklyn and drinking in every bar in between.
Although currently based in New York, Alien Envoy is just as likely to be noticed traipsing the streets of Dublin. He has an affinity with both, as many do, and is a regular of both cities, his heart split right down the middle, one half attached to the place of his birth, the other to the place of the birth of his music.
It was in New York that Envoy found his voice, taking Irish societal trends and identity as his source of inspiration and weaving in the creative vibes of artistic NYC. On the verge of something great, there's a tension here that can only be attributed to the split personality of a soul stretched across 3000 miles of Atlantic, both at home and abroad in both places, physically, musically, emotionally." ... allegedly
