Lesley Roy

Lesley Roy, an accomplished Irish singer-songwriter hailing from Balbriggan, County Dublin, has made significant strides in the music industry since her debut. In two thousand six, she signed with an independent Irish label, paving the way for a record deal with the renowned US label Jive Records. Her first album, 'Unbeautiful,' released in two thousand eight, was executive produced by the legendary Max Martin and featured the top forty hit single of the same name on US radio.

Transitioning her focus to songwriting and toplining, Roy caught the attention of Marc Jordan, a prominent figure in the industry known for launching Rihanna's career. As a songwriter, she has enjoyed international success, collaborating with various artists such as Adam Lambert, Miss Montreal, Medina, Jana Kramer, Marlee Scott, Deorro, Anish Sood, and Brendan Murray, showcasing her versatility and talent.

In two thousand nineteen, Lesley was selected to represent Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest twenty twenty with a song she co-wrote and produced alongside Robert Marvin, Catt Gravitt, and Tom Shapiro. Although the competition was ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she achieved a top twenty hit in Ireland, reaching number twelve on the homegrown charts.

Roy's journey continued as she was chosen once again to represent Ireland in the twenty twenty-one Eurovision contest with a different track titled 'Maps,' which impressively charted at number three in the Irish homegrown chart, further solidifying her status as a prominent figure in the music scene.
