Decent Music PR puts the spotlight on Pat Donnelly asking him five key questions. . .
Welcome to the Decent Music PR blog. Please introduce yourself. And how would you describe your music?
I'm Pat Donnelly a singer-songwriter from Ireland. I've been writing music for a number of years now and have just released my debut album. My music would be best described as pop-rock.
Who are your biggest influences?
Blink-182 are my main and biggest influence.
Who do you create music for, and what messages do you want people to get from your music?
I create music as a creative outlook and the main message I would like people to take from my music is how to deal with negative experiences in life and all the challenges life throws at you.
If you could imagine the best moment for a first-time listener to listen to your music, what would it be?
I think driving and listening to Stay Right Here, I think a perfect driving song
What is one song that you wish you wrote yourself, and why?
In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel. As someone who writes music, it makes you realise the genius in being able to write such a song.
What have you learned from your artistry through the years? What lessons do you think you could’ve only come through your music?
Mostly I've learned about how I've grown on a personal level. The topics I write about have shown me what I've learned throughout the years. Dealing with loss, grief and relationships in general really come through my lyrics I would say. As an artist, I feel my songwriting and lyric writing has improved also since I first started in my late teens.
