Seán Gilsenan - Irish Artist Of The Week

Seán Gilsenan is a singer-songwriter from Kells, Co. Meath, now based in Dublin. With over 30,000 streams and more than 350,000 views on TikTok, he is moving away from traditional heartbreak-driven songwriting, instead exploring themes of perspective and emotional balance within a modern folk sound. His latest single “Equanimity” reflects this direction — a song centred on finding calm and clarity in an increasingly chaotic world. Following the release of “Pawprints” last year, a deeply personal track that resonated with listeners, Seán continues to develop a more concept-driven approach to his writing. He has been gigging regularly, with upcoming shows in Dublin. Alongside his music, Seán currently works in the legal industry — though with growing momentum behind his releases, he’s hoping to trade the office for the stage.
