Damien Rice

in County Kildare, Ireland
Active In: 90's, 2000's

 
Irish singer/songwriter Damien Rice spent his childhood fishing and daydreaming in the countryside of Celbridge, County Kildare. Painting and writing songs inspired him as a young man, motivating Rice to put a band together. The heavy, indie rock sounds of Juniper were signed to Polygram in 1997 and "The World Is Dead" and "Weathermen" did moderately well on Irish radio. When it came time to recording a full-length album, contractual rules from the label prevented Juniper from doing so, and Rice split. He headed for the hills of Tuscany in 1999 and lived his life wandering around Europe. Rice returned to Dublin within a year to focus on music once again, scrounging up enough money to record a demo.
