Moncrieff, who has in the past performed with Adele and impressed greats like Elton John and Avicii, has just signed to German Label Energie Musik. His new EP is set for release this Spring.

The appeal of "Warm"
Moncrieff’s “first-ever love song”, the latest track is both catchy and personal to the singer. Speaking about it, he says, “nobody’s perfect. This song is about being that person, and that rare moment in life when you find that person that truly sees you for you, your imperfections, flaws and scars as well as your good traits and loves you for them. It’s a really comforting and happy feeling to just know that all you have to do is be yourself.”
About Moncrieff
The Tramore man has been working on his songwriting skills for years. Growing up he was into classic Soul and R&B, taking influence from the likes of Otis Redding, Etta James, and Ray Charles. He later moved to London to hone his craft.
It didn’t take long until some of the biggest names took notice: Moncrieff sang backing vocals for Adele who was shooting a BBC performance, and soon after that, shortly after the release of his debut single in 2017, he learned that Sir Elton John had played the single on his show. Right before Avicii’s death, Moncrieff had already booked a flight to L.A., where he was due to work with the Swedish producer.
