Already establishing a truly distinctive and increasingly popular singing style in the world of music, singer songwriter Annmarie O'Riordan hails from the wonderfully picturesque Barony of Duhallow in County Cork.

As a seven year old Annmarie joined the Millstreet branch of Comhaltas Ceoltóiri Éireann and competed in Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, Scór and similar competitions winning both provincial and national titles. While she enjoyed participating in the various cultural competitions her heartfelt desire to sing just for the love of singing led her away from competitions focusing more on exploring the songs she enjoyed most and loved to share these with appreciative listeners.

When as a student in Millstreet Community School she was encouraged by her parents to record four songs this developed into the recording of a full CD of sixteen tracks. At 12 years of age Annmarie had recorded her first CD. Entitled "Harmony Handed Down" it proved to be hugely popular and received airplay not only on local but also on national and international radio from America to Australia.

By 2005, Annmarie had produced her second much anticipated CD, entitled "Melody in Harmony" and there was an even greater response to this very fine collection of songs which included the atmospherically reflective "Cooraclare" and "This Story I Tell You is True".

In September 2008, due to popular demand recorded her third album "Ireland - Love of my Heart" which Annmarie launched in her first solo concert in the Royal Theatre, Castlebar, Co. Mayo which was hugely successful.

Annmarie was chosen as the nation's Best Newcomer Horizon Award winner at the prestigious Irish Music Awards announced at the World Fleadh held in the Royal Theatre, Castlebar, in August 2009. Following this Annmarie embarked on her first U.S and European tour.

In March 2011, Following the splendid success of Annmarie's first three enormously popular CD's- this incredibly talented singer now shares a remarkable treasury of such meaningful and very beautiful songs in her fourth CD "Song for the Journey" under the overall theme of our journey through life. The spiritual nature of many of these musical gems echoes Annmarie's sincere love of singing with her local church choir.

The wonderfully distinctive singing voice of Annmarie O'Riordan has become so superbly recognisable not only at national level here in Ireland but increasingly on a much wider international scale. Annmarie’s first four albums- "Harmony Handed Down", "Melody in Harmony", "Ireland - Love of my Heart" and "Song for the Journey" have proven hugely popular and receive consistent airplay on radio worldwide.

Annmarie was honoured to perform Ireland's National Anthem "Ámhrán na bhFiann" to 82, 000 spectators in Croke Park for an All-Ireland football semi-final in August 2013.

Annmarie's fifth album "The Joys of my Heart" introduced us to a new dimension in that the excellent title track is composed by the splendidly creative Annmarie herself. Annmarie has over 4.7 million views on her YouTube channel proving her immense popularity. Additionally, Annmarie’s music and personality shine through on Spotify, Instagram and Facebook.

Annmarie released her much anticipated sixth studio album ‘The Harvest Dance’ in 2022 and will be touring worldwide sharing her thought-evoking stories through song in 2022 and 2023.
