Facts: Róisín’s musical career began in a Sheffield club upon meeting Mark Brydon. Their personal and professional relationship flourished and the duo went on to create four acclaimed studio albums as Moloko: “Do You Like My Tight Sweater?” (1995), “I Am Not A Doctor” (1998), “Things To Make & Do” (2000) and “Statues” (2003). After eleven years of writing, producing and touring as part of the fantastic experimental Dance-Pop duo Moloko, Róisín began to work on a solo project with Electronica producer Matthew Herbert. Her first solo-effort “Ruby Blue” was completed and released in summer 2005 on the Echo label and reached the States in 2006 following appearances on the “Grey's Anatomy” and “So You Think You Can Dance!” soundtracks. Róisín Murphy’s second album “Overpowered” is a thrilling and contemporary marriage of edgy Pop and irresistible Disco.
