About

Brighton based Dessie Magee, hails from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Growing up Dessie found it difficult staying out of trouble and avoiding regular run-ins with the police. Eventually he began singing in the heavy music scene, a well timed saving grace and positive outlet. But, eventually this resulted in Dessie having to undergo major throat surgery, a result of which he was unable to speak for months after. Despite the injury, Dessie was determined to pursue his musical career and after a long period of rehabilitation he began learning to speak again, and eventually was able to sing again.

Many people in this situation would rule out a future in music but his persistence and passion for music gave him the ambition to strive for success and begin his new journey. With a diverse musical background and a new found resilience, Dessie’s music took a completely different direction..

Since then, and as a 100% DIY artist, Dessie's accolades include:

-BBC Radio Introducing Track Of The Day x3

-Supported Van Morrison (Bath, 2019)

-The Unsigned Guides Track of the Month

-BBC Radio Live Session & Facebook HQ London Live Session

-200k+ Spotify / Apple streams

-800k+ video views

-Secured sync placement with Major Games developer Climax Studio (Assassins Creed, Fable)

-Played a sold out Haunt (Brighton, 400cap)

-Played a sold out Concorde 2 (Brighton, 600cap)

-7x full band self-funded UK tours
