Chanele McGuinness by Eilis Doherty

Chanele McGuinness

Vocalist + Songwriter

Chanele McGuinness understands the unique intrigue of darkness & isolation.

Instead of trying to fight the problems that may come along with living and working in a small coastal town in rural Ireland, she has taken these challenges & used them to her advantage, further leaning into the dark & lonely subjects of her songs.

The juxtaposition of sweet vocals paired with miniature ghost stories keeps the listener locked into McGuinness’ performances. Her music floats from the eerie storytelling side of Andy Shauf to the dulcet tones of Julia Jacklin. However, Chanele carves her own pocket in the singer-songwriter genre with her pure, haunting vocals & ominous song subjects alone. McGuinness has toured with songwriters Natalie Prass & Matthew E. White, playing sold out shows across Europe and the U.K.

Chanele has worked with creative studios such as Soundtree, mCasso and Stellarsound. Her voice has been featured in various television advertisements including Galaxy Duet, Erste Bank and Pampers.

Chanele's current singles are just a small taste of what is to follow with her debut record.
