Biography

Of Irish origin, Fiona was born in Phillipsburg (New Jersey) after her parents moved from Dublin to the United States. Brought up in a family of Catholic traditions, right from childhood she felt drawn towards traditional Irish music and even learnt to play the clarinet at school. Even when she was awarded a grant for the University School of Drama in New York, she decided on a musical career.

There are videos for the songs "Talk To Me" from "Fiona", "Hopelessly Love You" and "Living In A Boy's World" from "Beyond The Pale", "Everything You Do (You're Sexing Me)" from "Heart Like A Gun", "Hearts Of Fire" from the Heart Of Fire soundtrack, and "Where the cowboys go" from "Heart like a gun". The Hearts of Fire (soundtrack) features 4 exclusive otherwise unreleased songs from Fiona.
