Gemma Hayes is a singer-songwriter born on August 11 1977 in Ballyporeen,
Tipperary, Ireland.
Early life One of eight children, Hayes was surrounded by music from an
early age whether it was coming from stereos in her siblings bedrooms or
being played by her father, a keyboardist in a local band. By the time she
left for boarding school in County Limerick, Hayes was already proficient
at piano and found that the music she'd used to counter the boredom of
living in a small town now offered her escape from the strict regime of
her new home. Although she enrolled at University in Dublin, Hayes soon
left to concentrate on music, working part-time in a laundrette during the
day and playing the city's circuit at night.
Music career Hayes signed to Source Records in 2001 and issued the folksy
4.35am EP and the more band-oriented Work to a Calm EP before releasing
her debut album, Night on my Side
