Christy | Dragon Soop Artist of the Week in Scotland On Sunday, 11 December 2022
Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com
Penning masterful pop songs with soul, singer, songwriter and actor Christy O’Donnell has had a colourful career to date under the moniker Christy. On leaving school (or rather being asked to leave), he got a musical education racking up over 10,000 hours busking on the streets of Glasgow, followed by busking his way throughout mainland Europe. He also starred as one of the leads in the independent feature film Moon Dogs and the sci-fi series Find Me In Paris and was also personally invited on tour across France by one of his musical heroes - Rufus Wainwright.
With tens of thousands of followers on Instagram and TikTok, millions of streams on Spotify, and the support of major record label Decca, things are shaping up nicely for Christy. His excellent new single In Denial is about an online relationship with an actress (he still hasn’t met in person) and has so far secured airplay on BBC Radio 1 and been featured in Record of the Day.
