Biography

Roisin Murphy was born into an Irish family in 1973 and from her early years had an independent and eccentric character. Once she sang for her parents a song from Evita musical, starring Madonna, and all her relatives were deeply impressed by her voice. Nevertheless the girl did not demonstrate her talent to strangers for a long time. At age 12 she moved to Manchester, England with her parents. Roisin's mother had an antique shop there and the girl helped the her in business. When in about 3 years later her parents divorced and came back to Ireland, Murphy being only 16 refused to move back with them. She went to school for some time. Consequantly Roisin headed to Sheffield, where she became a night clubber and met Mark Brydon at a party in 1994. That was the way the electronica duo Moloko began.
