At 12 years old, Paddy Casey began busking on the streets of Dublin; a year later, he had been discovered by an A&R scout, and dropped out of high school to embark on cementing his place in Ireland's inimitable folk-rock lineage. His moody, impassioned style earned him a spot on the soundtrack to Dawson's Creek back in 1999, and he saw platinum success at the turn of the millennium with 1999's Amen (So Be It) and 2003's Living.
