Orla Monelle

Orla Monelle, an independent Pop/R&B artist born in Belgium and based in Dublin, is a product of her diverse musical upbringing. Growing up listening to her father play traditional tunes alongside the French songs that were played locally, she was always exploring new genres of music while searching for her own sound.

At just seventeen she moved from Belgium to Ireland to continue her musical journey. To date, she has released 5 singles. Boasting an impressive 60,000 plays on Spotify, her music has secured spots on playlists like 'New Music Friday UK', ‘R&B Fresh Finds’ and has been played on stations such as BBC Radio 1Xtra, RTE 2XM and BBC radio Ulster.

In the past year, Orla has captured audiences with her magnetic performances at venues such as The Ruby Sessions in Dublin, Sofar Sounds in Belfast, and The Lucky Pig in London. Recently, she commanded the stage with a full band, packing out The Workman’s Cellar for her Debut Headline show. With powerhouse vocals, irresistible energy, and a stage presence that mesmerises, Orla Monelle’s live performances are unforgettable experiences not to be missed.
