Musician | Theatre Maker | Session Vocalist

“A sign of the times. We must diversify.”

Kav is a multi-disciplinary artist with a "lightning energy" and a self proclaimed “fire breather”.

Kav has solidified her reputation as one of the best session vocalists in the business. Most recently, she returned from a global stadium tour with Billy Idol, bringing her signature power to massive audiences across the world.

Her expertise, technique and huge capacity for craic have made her a collaborator for industry legends, most notably touring with The Waterboys and recording with Villagers.

Her ability to intuit and adapt her vocals to any genre is how she remains a first-call artist for those who need a presence and a professional.

The Songwriter

Kav’s songwriting history is as varied, from fronting BARQ and collaborating with Sister Fenix, to crafting intimate solo releases like "Genesis,""January Lullaby," and "Ascension" (with The X Collective).

Her writing also serves as the heartbeat of her theatre work; she co-composed the original music for her debut play "Fermented Dreams" and the Fringe production "Hive City Legacy".

Current Work: 2026 & Beyond

The start of this year has been a deep dive into movement and new creation.

• Brisbane: Spent January in Australia collaborating with Hot Brown Honey and Polytoxic on the development of a brand-new musical.

• On Tour: Currently touring as a lead vocalist with the Catherine Young Dance Company for the powerful production Ciseach.

The Maker: Theatre & Production

Finding herself without a band during lockdown, Kav began to diversify. She trained in music production and began writing for The Irish Times, appearing on The Tommy Tiernan Show, and performing poetry at the National Concert Hall.

This evolution led to her first performance at The Abbey Theatre and her self-produced theatre piece, "Fermented Dreams," which debuted at the Dublin Fringe Festival 2024 to critical acclaim. Backed by a prestigious Arts Council Music Bursary, she is currently developing new multidisciplinary work.

Community & Connection

Kav is a fixture in community arts, seeing firsthand how art heals in real-time.

Through Noise Music and South Dublin County Council, she facilitates workshops for children and teenagers, teaching them music production, lyric writing, and spoken word.

The Archive

Over the last decade, Kav has also lent her voice and artistry to collaborations with Jape, Eleanor McEvoy, Kodaline,Le Galaxie and Hozier.
