Winner of the 1999 Alternative Miss Ireland competition,[1][2] In 2002 she formed indie rock group Daddy's Little Princess who later went on to support Scissor Sisters on tour in 2004 .[3] Veda currently hosts a weekly drag show called Space 'N Veda at Dublin's best known gay bar, The George. In 2006 Veda along with fellow drag artist Davina Devine formed electro pop duo LadyFace. In 2010, Veda released her debut album Stars Edge which peaked in the top ten of the Irish charts. In summer 2010, Veda performed at Electric Picnic[4] and headlined the Milk festival.
The Irish Times, in a positive review of the album Stars Edge, wrote, "It's cheeky, glam and often cheesy, but also a lot of fun".[5] In a mixed review, The Sunday Business Post wrote, "Insubstantially frothy at all times, Stars Edge still packs enough of a glittery punch to hold the attention."[6]
