Rising star Jamie Duffy, the 22-year-old musician and songwriter, is set to enchant listeners with the release of his debut EP ‘On A Wing’, featuring the already celebrated track ‘Torus’ and three new tracks: “Breathing,” “On a Wing,” and “Resonance.” This much-anticipated EP showcases Jamie’s unique ability to blend traditional, popular, and classical influences into a distinctive and captivating musical style, and reflects on the last 4 years of Jamie’s life. The 4 songs within it draw on his relationships, from love to the natural world, to the music industry and have been produced by BAFTA winner and Emmy nominated Icelandic composer Atli Örvarsson.

The lead single “Torus,” which has already been met with critical acclaim, draws inspiration from the cyclical swimming patterns of basking sharks. Jamie explains, “In this piece, I was inspired by basking sharks swimming in circles. This behaviour mirrors my own experiences and relationships, often feeling cyclical. The torus-shaped circles these majestic creatures form symbolise the beautiful and wild aspects of life.”
EP’s focus track ‘Resonance’ is a cinematic and intense piece of music, and the idea for it was born on the same day as Solas. “To me” says Jamie, “the piece represents the intensity of being thrown into the music industry unexpectedly, and the drama and peril within that experience. In many ways this song is a musical output for me to vent frustration and at times anger at seeing my own music being misused, misunderstood and misrepresented, especially in the online world, and these strong emotions all come together to create a cinematic, flowing and dramatic piece of music.”
Jamie Duffy’s musical journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. His debut track ‘Solas’ shattered records in 2022, becoming the most streamed debut song by an Irish artist since Hozier’s “Take Me To Church,” with over 84 million streams on Spotify alone. Known for his versatility and innovation, Jamie has collaborated with renowned artists such as Sarah Cothran, Patrick Dexter, and Kingfishr, seamlessly merging talents and producing deeply resonant music.
With over 1 million monthly listeners, Jamie is solidifying his place in the music world. His debut EP promises to be a testament to his growing influence and the depth of his musical artistry.
