#178 Burkie and his father David burke: Dealing with loss through music

At just 15 years old, Aidan Burke professionally known as 'Burkie', hailing from Bandon, Ireland, is making waves as a hip-hop artist with a purpose.

Burkie's music is deeply rooted in his personal experiences. In 2022 while his mother was in the ICU in CUH, the loss of a close friend to suicide inspired him to write this track.

As a heartfelt tribute to the loss of his friend, Rían De Brún, "We Ain't Mad at Ya" was released on his 1st year anniversary.

Recorded at M.5 sound studio with COCO, Burkie's music is a testament to his passion and dedication. Collaborating with N'D which added an emotional vocal hook, taking the song to the next level.

Burkie and his father, David, shared their story on the Two Norries podcast, advocating for suicide prevention and mental health awareness.
