Cathy Shannon

Cathy Shannon is a Saudi Arabian born, half Irish and half Indonesian singer-songwriter based in The Hague, The Netherlands. She has been writing songs since she was six, with inspiration from folk musicians such as Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and John Mellencamp. ‘Folk with tears and giggles’ is the best way to describe her unique storytelling style of music, ranging from funny stories to the ones that stir the soul. Some songs are based on real events and some are just bizarrely made up to tickle the mind. Having performed her music across Europe, Japan and New York, her dream is to share her music and stories all over the world.
