Recording Artist Sina Theil
Sina Theil is a German born, Irish based multi-instrumentalist, award winning artist, singer-songwriter, Social Media Influencer, Psychologist, Health & Wellness Contributor to Irish Runner Magazine, Yoga and Running enthusiast, Motivational speaker, TV and radio presenter and winner of several Irish music awards and “Rising Star of the Year 2022” awarded by the late Maryann McTeague Keifer at the American Celtic Listener Supported Music Awards. She started playing piano and composing her first songs at age 7. In 2015 German born singer-songwriter Sina Theil boarded a one-way plane to Dublin City, Ireland, with just her guitar, one backpack and a pocket full of dreams. Although she had been writing songs since age 7, at the age of 25 she had found herself stuck in the hamster wheel of a boring 9-5 office job in finance. “I used to dread going into work every day”, Sina remembers, “I felt so purposeless”. After a few years during which she grew steadily unhappier, she realized that if she couldn’t muster the courage to leave, her dreams would never come true. “I just knew that if I didn’t take the leap of faith and leave everything behind, I’d always live with regret”, Sina recounts. So she sold all her belongings, said farewell to everything she knew and launched herself into the adventure of a lifetime. “I knew zero people in Ireland. I had no money or social media. Never performed a professional concert. Really, I had all odds against me. But my dream was to carve out a music career for myself in Ireland. That desire and passion kept me going, even during the toughest times.” Fast forward to the present day, Sina has received several Irish and International music awards, scored twenty-six number 1 singles across the Irish iTunes charts, has stacked up over 16,000 radio plays in Ireland and beyond, accumulated over 60,000 followers across her social media platforms, surpassed 1 million views on Youtube with her duet of “The Fields of Athenry” featuring Caitríona O’Sullivan and is currently celebrating her US tour debut supported by Culture Ireland. Furthermore, she has appeared on the front cover of the prestigious Irish Music Magazine and on Ireland’s leading celebrity magazine RSVP. She also featured in the Music Business Ireland publication and on one of Ireland’s leading music TV shows – “Opry Le Daniel” (Season 12). Sina sucessfully crowdfunded over €16,000 in three weeks to release her independent album and DVD “Live at THT Galway”, which has been broadcast on Irish national TV (TG4) several times to great acclaim.
