Dublin singer Jazzy becomes the biggest Irish female artist in the world on Spotify

The Crumlin native broke through with her debut single Giving Me and was named a 2023 Breakthrough Artist on TikTok.

The 28-year-old’s first song went global on the popular social media platform, helping her claim the title at the End of Year TikTok Awards.

However, her stardom has now reached new heights, as her audience has grown to 7.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify. This means the Dublin singer has overtaken the late Sinéad O’Connor, who has 5.3 million monthly listeners.

The new figures also rank Jazzy as the fifth-biggest Irish solo artist overall, after Hozier, Van Morrison, Niall Horan and Dermot Kennedy.

Her debut EP, Constellations, was released in October, and since then, she’s become the first Irish woman to reach number one on Spotify. She’s also the first woman in Ireland to reach the number one single spot in 14 years.

Speaking to the Irish Independent late last year, she said the past 12 months had been “unimaginable”.

“I have done things I could have only imagined doing, and I’m having the time of my life,” she said.

“I think there have been so many big ones for me this year, but the one that stands out is being the first female to go to number one in 14 years in Ireland.

“That makes me feel like I’ve made a little bit of history in my career already.

“In 2024, I’m going to stay in the studio as much as I can, working hard on the next Jazzy project, and hopefully, a Jazzy tour along the way too.

“Day-to-day life has changed a lot, but for the good. I’ve been blessed enough to get to do what I love as a career – lots of travelling and being able to support my family,” she added.

The news of her Spotify success comes ahead of the release of Jazzy’s new single, No Bad Vibes next Friday.

Jazzy is due to undertake her second headline Ireland and UK tour.

She plays Index, Dublin, on November 9, The Telegraph Building, Belfast, on November 22, and The Electric Ballroom, London, on November 23.
