COLOHAN is a young artist hailing from the west of Ireland. Born and raised in Galway City, James Colohan has been playing guitar since he was 4 years old. He has been honing his onstage performance skills all over Ireland playing both guitar and bass in top wedding bands, but has now decided to take the leap and take on the world as an original artist. 

Citing ‘John Mayer’, ‘The 1975’ and ‘Ed Sheeran’ as some of his favourite artists, their influence can definitely be heard in COLOHAN’s performances. When asked, he says that he doesn’t have any one particular artist or genre that inspires him continually. He says that he prefers to act like a “musical sponge”, absorbing influence from absolutely everything he hears from Mario Kart music to Rammstein. 

COLOHAN’S sophomore release ‘Somebody That You Miss‘ is a tear-jerker, focusing on the negative physical effects that you feel after a break-up and how sometimes, the only cure is for the other person to miss you just as much as you miss them. A solid follow-up to ‘Time to go’, ‘Somebody that you miss’ is another cracking pop song, with a strong country undercurrent throughout the track.
