Rising Stars: Dove Ellis


19 02 2026

Irish singer/songwriter Dove Ellis, whose real name is Thomas O’Donoghue, debuted in September 2025 with singles To The Sandals, followed by Pale Song and Love Is in October.

A month later, all three tracks had surpassed one million streams and Ellis opened for American rock band Geese’s Getting Killed tour across the US. Following the arrival of his debut album Blizzard in December 2025, Ellis takes to the road in May 2026. With sold out shows in Dublin, Manchester, Los Angeles and New York, the folk/rock artist seems on the cusp of an international breakthrough just months into his career.
