Bio

Reylta is an Irish folk singer-songwriter from Galway, Ireland, releasing her debut single in ‘October’ on Samhain 2022. Her folksy melodies and raw lyricism are influenced by traditional Irish music and modern folk she has grown into her refined sound, which is both captivating and pleasantly honest.

The recent BIMM music graduate (songwriting)  has been performing with an 8-piece band since 2017 and has a deep connection to Irish music, poetry, and storytelling. Her music blends sweet and lamenting sounds with a complex alternative view. Inspired by local people and the stories of pain and loss in rural towns, she seeks to create and connect with others who feel the same. Relyta began writing when she was eleven, with her musical influences including Florence and the Machine, Damien Rice, and Hozier. Reylta’s band is an essential component of her work. The artist composes pieces, and each player brings their unique style, creating a synergy that goes unmatched. The band size varies, with each member influencing the tone and emulating trad performers with a classic, melancholic folk-pop vibe. Reylta released her single ‘Fools Game’ in 2019, her music video ‘Semi Detached to The Flats’ in February 2021, and last May completed a recording her album  in Gweedore, which is set for release later this year. Before the pandemic, Reylta performed two sold-out shows in Whelan’s, Dublin. Reylta won the Eimear Noonan Bursary prize in 2021, featured at Bloom Festival and the historic Ballyglunin and IMMA this year.
