Eric Lalor

Somebody's Child

Somebody’s Child sounds like the real deal.

There’s a bit of mystery surrounding Somebody’s Child, a very gifted young man.

Somebody's Child

For starters, he is a 21-year-old classically trained pianist and multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter hailing from Dublin.

Citing Arcade Fire, Amy Winehouse, MGMT and The National as inspiration, Somebody’s Child explores different styles and elements of pop music, encapsulating what it means to be a contemporary songwriter.
