Today, I’ll be chatting with Declan O’Sullivan. You might know him better as ‘Paddyman’. Declan is a professional entertainer and songwriter who has performed live for over 1 million people all around the world. Originally from Kildare, Declan originally moved to Canada twenty-five years ago where he met his wife before moving to Dubai for sixteen years. Declan and his family are now back in Canada, residing in Niagara Falls, Ontario. We recorded this conversation a couple hours before he was due to perform at a private gig in the Brazen Head in Liberty Village, Toronto in aid of the Toronto Irish FC.
In this episode, we discuss the reasons Declan moved to Canada, Dubai and back to Canada again, how he got started in the entertainment industry, the prestigious Golden Visa awarded to him by the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority and what the future holds for him in Canada. In this podcast, we meet Declan O’Sullivan, the person, but he allows us to meet Paddyman as well as he indulges us with three wonderful songs, written by himself. It was a pleasure to sit down and see Paddyman live.
I would still encourage people to download the episodes and to share them with friends and family. Downloads are the easiest indicator for me to gauge how many people I am reaching with these conversations so I would really appreciate it.
