Born in 1987 in Dublin, Ireland, Roy was inspired to pick up the guitar and write songs at the age of 10 after she saw her mother perform in wedding bands. She started to perform small gigs around Dublin and was discovered by Religion Music, a local indie music label. Soon after, music giant Jive Records got wind of this new pop talent and scooper her up to add her to their roster. Roy committed to recording 6 albums in a worldwide publishing agreement. Not too shabby for a 21 year-old.
First single from her debut album is the high-adrenaline pop-rock stomper "I'm Gone, I'm Going" that features Roy's raspy vocals, a powerful rock riff and a big, fat melodic hook, which is, of course, courtesy of Max Martin.
