Orla Gartland is a self-proclaimed alternative pop artist, born in Dublin on February 3, 1995. She is best known for her songwriting credits on the BTS song “134340” and her break-out single “I Go Crazy.”
Orla started in humble beginnings, gaining popularity for posting cover songs on YouTube. In her childhood, Orla quickly picked up and began playing the fiddle and violin at the age of 5, and then moving to guitar at 12. When she was 13 she uploaded her first video, a cover of Beyonce’s “Halo”. Orla continued to upload to Youtube and self-released an album featuring several covers, along with some original work in 2011.
Her debut EP Roots was released in 2013, around the time she moved from Dublin to London. This was followed by another EP two years later, titled Lonely People.
