Born in London in 1992, Oonagh Haines later moved to the north of France and now lives near Redon in Brittany. The artist began playing the Casio keyboard in a street band called ‘La fanfare Sevezoo’, formed in Dunkirk, from 2014 to 2020. She then continued her musical practice on a Yamaha keyboard and began singing in a duo called POLUX, with Antonin Carette on double bass. This collaboration later evolved into MEUBELEN, an acoustic project in which Oonagh Haines combines harmonium and vocals, accompanied by Antonin Carette on double bass. She also created the music for and performed live in an object theatre show called BESTIOLES, alongside Marlène Hannon and Gabin Ghibaudo.
Trained in the arts, Oonagh Haines also produces multimedia performances, in which she questions social constructs, cultivates the absurd and challenges certainties. In 2019, Oonagh Haines composed her first solo music project. A sort of murky club romance, her compositions draw as much from electronic music as from R&B, cloud rap and even doom metal. It is dance music, at times abrupt, at times folk-inspired. A world that is both dark and amusing, where humour rubs shoulders with the unsettling.
