Cian Ducrot grew up in Cork, Ireland with a single mum who was a concert pianist and flautist. He found escape in music, listening to his mum playing everything from Bach to Chopin. Cian won a full scholarship to study classical flute at the Royal Academy of Music, but left the prestigious school when he fell in love with songwriting and producing. His debut release, the mixtape ‘started in college’ (2020), was discovered by Darkroom/Interscope Records who promptly signed the Irish songwriter/producer.
