On Stage
Cian Ducrot knows that talent isn’t enough to succeed in the music industry – you need determination, as well. Fortunately, he has both qualities in spades. The Irish musician was one of the biggest breakout stars of 2024, and his phenomenal ascent is only set to continue this year. His achievements to date – A No 1 album, two Top 20 singles, countless viral videos, star collaborations and a sold-out headline tour – are testament to his unique sound and relentless ambition. Victory, the name of his critically adored first record, is apt. Ducrot is here to win.
His eagerly anticipated second album, Little Dreaming, is a beautifully cohesive work that invites listeners to travel with him on a journey of self-discovery. Put together with a tight-knit group of trusted collaborators, it sees him showcase a dazzling Seventies and Eighties sound – influenced by greats such as Elton John, Michael Jackson and Queen – all the while baring his soul through heartfelt, authentic songwriting.
“This album has been a crazy journey, it was an absolutely amazing experience,” Ducrot says. “I set out to just be as creative and as free and as expressive as possible, and I think we’ve done that. It’s not an overstatement to say making the record has changed my life.”
