Damien Rice is a Celbridge native, and has attracted worldwide attention and fame following the release of his critically acclaimed and massively popular albums 'O' and '9'.
The 'Cannonball' and 'Volcanoes' singer is a former member of the band Juniper, which has since been renamed Bell X1 and has also attracted critical and commercial success in Ireland and the US.
Rice's songs have featured several times on popular films and television shows, adding to his mainstream success. Damien was given "special thanks" in the end credits of the Academy Award winning 2007 Irish musical film Once.
