Kildare's Keith Cullen launches new memoir at Castletown House

Kildare author, artist and entrepreneur Keith Cullen officially launched his new memoir, Dear Future Me, at the historic Castletown House in Celbridge on Thursday, September 17.The venue holds special significance for Keith, who grew up nearby and spent much of his childhood enjoying the surrounding parkland.

A large crowd of family, friends and fans attended the launch, where Keith took part in an intimate on-stage conversation with his friend Zena Ryle. The wide-ranging discussion explored the story behind the book, Keith’s career to date and his future plans. Guests included Arthur Gourounlian who regularly collaborates with Keith, alongside Keith’s sister and business partner Jennifer Cullen.

Following the event, Keith said: “Launch night was an incredibly emotional and surreal moment for me. To see Dear Future Me finally out in the world, surrounded by the people who have supported me through so much, was something I’ll never forget. It felt like closing one chapter of my life and, finally, giving myself permission to step into the next.”

Dear Future Me is a candid memoir exploring ambition, identity, loss, self-worth and the changing meaning of success. It follows Keith’s journey from Ireland to a career in business and music, including time in Los Angeles, international touring and Billboard success, before a period of personal change led him to reassess the life he had been pursuing.

Music also forms a central part of the project, with the book accompanied by an original fifteen-track soundscape, featuring one of Keith’s songs for each chapter.

Keith is now the founder of The Green Room, where his work focuses on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

Dear Future Me is available now in hardback via www.dearfuturemebook.com, priced €25 plus shipping, and via Amazon worldwide.
