Lisa Hannigan, singer and songwriter, was born in Kilcloon, Co. Meath on February 12, 1981. She is most often associated with Damien Rice after being featured as the female vocalist on his breakthrough albums, O and 9.

The album debuted at no. 4 in Ireland. Her second album, “Passengers” was just released in the U.S. on September 20th, 2011.
