Eoin Devereux

Eoin Devereux is a 19-year-old musician from Enniscorthy who writes and produces his own music. “Music is my place, it is where I belong. My intention is for people who have not found their place in the world to be able to express themselves in even some small way through my music.” Eoin’s new song Set My Eyes On You is his fifth release. Some of his other songs, Going My Own Way and Jigsaw have been played on national radio.

The 19-year-old is due to release a video for the new single on February 4th. ‘This song is about how powerful the force of love is,’ Eoin says. ‘When we love someone or something, we can tend to glorify everything and put unfair standards on that person, forgetting they are human as well. So I think the message of it is just love yourself because if you don't it's very hard for someone else to,’ he adds.

Eoin says, “Music is my entire world; it has helped me through many tough times – my hope is to inspire other people my age to keep going with their passion.”

According to Hot Press magazine, which made the song its Track of the Day on 24th January, ‘Set My Eyes On You combines thick synths, a soft acoustic guitar and Devereux’s catchy hook to create a moody, atmospheric track.’

Eoin is proud of his new release and would like it to achieve a wide audience.
