Early life

At the age of 5, Fiach Moriarty began to learn the violin at school in Inchicore. He states that he grew up with traditional Irish folk music in the home but was also influenced by Mozart and Beethoven, due to his mother's piano playing.[2] At the age of 12, he received his first guitar as a birthday gift and began writing songs, heavily influenced by Nirvana and The Beatles.[3]

In 2015, Moriarty released his second record 'The Revolution', drawing on inspiration from the 1916 Easter Rising and World War 1.[6] For Christmas 2016, Fiach collaborated with John Byrne and Duncan Maitland, releasing a Christmas single; 'In Love at Christmas Time'.[7]
