Explained simply
Aaron Rowe is an Irish songwriter whose music draws on his experiences of leaving home and living abroad. Los Angeles, where the Hollywood Sign overlooks the city, is a major centre of the music industry and attracts artists hoping to build careers.
Moving abroad for work can bring opportunity as well as loneliness and a sense of not belonging. Rowe’s debut EP, Exodus, and his touring work have helped introduce him to a wider audience, while his songs also touch on the personal costs of pursuing a career far from home.
