Who is Cian Ducrot?

Cork born singer-songwriter Cian Ducrot had an intense love for music from an early age, thanks to his mother’s career as a concert pianist and flautist.

A musician well-versed in classical music from Bach to Chopin, Cian was accepted to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London, a school that includes alumni like Elton John.

With music being so important to him it was a no-brainer for the Irish singer to attend the prestigious London school. Music was his outlet particularly when difficult emotions became overwhelming, it was his calm within the storm of his personal life. Joining the school musicals and drama clubs were his way to introduce music into his life without just sitting in his room alone.

Where did his career begin?

Having made the move to London to attend the prestigious Royal Academy of Music, Cian took a trip to Los Angeles and it was there that he was inspired to pursue a career as a pop artist.

Taking a leave of absence from school he travelled over and back from Dublin to London and Los Angeles all while writing his own songs. During this inspirational time Cian also taught himself how to produce records so that he could do everything he needed himself on the road.

He was signed by Darkroom/Interscope Records after releasing a body of work called Started In College, which narrates his journey into the world of music.

Cian is best known for his songs All For You and I’ll Be Waiting. He rose through the ranks thanks to his single All For You when it rose up through the UK singles chart peaking at number 19 after going viral on TikTok.

I’ll Be Waiting has been a viral hit on TikTok thanks to the Irish man travelling all across the US and videoing himself singing the single with a vocal choir in mundane everyday places attracting huge amounts of attention both online and in person.

Does he have social media?
