Carty

**Carty** is the musical project of Irish singer-songwriter Ciarán McCartney, blending heartfelt lyrics with warm, pop-friendly melodies. Hailing from Dublin, Carty first turned heads in 2021 with his introspective songwriting and knack for crafting relatable, emotionally charged tracks like "The Motive" and "Alone With Me." His sound often pairs stripped-back acoustic vibes with subtle electronic textures, creating a cozy yet modern feel that resonates with fans of artists like Dermot Kennedy or Ed Sheeran. Though still early in his career, Carty’s earnest storytelling and knack for catchy hooks have earned him a growing following, with his tracks racking up millions of streams and landing spots on curated playlists. When he’s not writing moody-but-hopeful bops, you’ll find him sharing snippets of his life and creative process on social media, often with a self-deprecating grin that makes fans feel like they’re chatting with an old friend.
