GALVO

GALVO is a singer-songwriter from Dublin, Ireland. He grew up in the Ballymun flats and moved to Swords in his teens where he found music and like-minded souls. During this period he went through some challenging times, and, on a few occasions, became homeless living in his car. Throughout this dark period, GALVO channelled his experiences and intense feelings into his songwriting. A self-taught lefty-guitarist, GALVO played in several bands before forming alternative rock band September Sun with his brother Stuart and some friends. They self-released an album called ‘Low Engine Angel’ in 2006 and toured all over Ireland. The band then went their separate ways and Galvo spent the next few years living in Spain. It was here he rediscovered his love of acoustic guitar; he began to play an upside-down right-strung guitar and began to explore a gentler songwriting style.
