Following the acclaim of his initial singles, ‘Everyday Life’ and ‘Cash Machine,’ which not only made it to the RTÉ Radio 1 Recommends list for three consecutive weeks but also featured on the BBC NI Music Matters playlist, Honas continues to captivate audiences with his unique blend of intimate vocals and emotionally charged lyrics.
‘Icy Blue’ was inspired by a winter trip to Canada and the nostalgia of 80s tunes. The track reflects Honas’ versatility and creativity, infusing retro vibes with his signatures sound, culminating in a song that is both fresh and familiar.

“I wrote ‘Icy Blue’ after a trip to Canada in the winter of 2021. I was there with friends, and we were blasting 80s tunes on alot of the car journeys. When I got home, I had the urge to write something that was slightly in that vein, and so ‘Icy Blue’ started coming out, with the working title “Boys of Winter”.”
Joining the release of ‘Icy Blue’ today is ‘Someone of a Kind,’ a more poignant track that explores the deep connections we form with others and the reflections of ourselves we see in them. It’s a song about attachment, love, and the fear of loss, showcasing Honas’ ability to weave complex emotions into his music.

Born on the west coast of Ireland, Honas’ creative spirit is drawn from the unique experiences of his childhood. Speaking the Irish language, immersing himself in Gaelic football, and living in Guyana have all played a part in shaping his musical journey.Returning to Ireland, his passion for music was further fuelled by classic Western song writing, leading to the creation of tracks that resonate with listeners worldwide.
Honas’ music has already garnered significant attention, with his work on the 2022 video amassing almost 300 million views, and his collaboration with German producer LO on the track “Control” achieving 20 million streams. His collaborations and performances, including joining the ranks of Lisa Hannigan, Saint Sister, and Nealo at Hibernacle in 2020, have only added to his evolving sound and reach.
With support from Irish, German, and Australian national radios, as well as inclusion in major Spotify playlists, Honas is set to continue his ascent in the music world with ‘Icy Blue’ and ‘Someone of a Kind’.
