Poet, Singer, Speaker
Mícheál ‘Moley’ Ó Súilleabháin is a renowned singer, poet, and speaker from Limerick, Ireland. His artistic identity lives on the threshold between things. He is a master of several worlds of music and poetic performance and composition. His way in the world exists between laughter and poignancy.
From a family steeped in Irish traditional music and academia, he gravitated to performance early, beginning as a drummer, he studied music at Univeristy College Cork. He graduated to an MA in Ethnomusicology at Irish World Academy of Music and Dance before teaching as a freelance music educator with a specialization in rap and human beatboxing (vocal percussion).
Mícheál provides coaching and conversation in a range of fields. He deepens the narrative around creativity and the artists sense of belonging. Permission and virtuosity are deep themes in his poetry, music, and his conversational interest. Music and poetry are both areas where he is brave enough to inspire others.

David Whyte, Poet philosopher
“Mícheál’s poetry is early music indeed, from someone I expect to have a long and storied literary career. The notes of his music are those of a clear and unique voice, that, like his extraordinary singing abilities brings together simplicity and virtuosity.”
