Mahuna

Belfast-born and Berlin-based songwriter Mahuna returns with Forever Is Mine, a sweeping, impressionistic collection of songs shaped by decades of personal evolution, and sonic exploration. Out on May 30th, the album marks Mahuna’s most ambitious work to date—a 25-year journey brought to life in 10 evocative tracks, each rooted in memory and place in his debut long-player. Available on streaming platforms and special edition vinyl.

Despite pursuing a degree in Chemical Engineering at Queen’s University, Mahuna’s heart remained tethered to music. His mother’s untimely death and his father’s expectations created a tumultuous emotional landscape, yet these experiences fueled his creative drive. His early musical ventures included forming a band called the Deceivers, which saw moderate success in London with a deal from Hit and Run Publishing and significant radio play. However, the disintegration of the band and personal setbacks led Mahuna to focus on his songwriting and solo performances.

Mahuna’s journey took him to Berlin, where he embraced fatherhood and continued to hone his craft. The construction of a home studio allowed him to experiment and evolve, resulting in several albums and EPs. Despite the challenges of the music industry and the geographical disconnect from his Irish roots, Mahuna’s determination never waned. His time in Berlin was marked by creative breakthroughs, even as he battled the industry’s ageist barriers and financial struggles.

A pivotal moment came during a solo performance at the Roisin Dubh in Galway, where Mahuna experienced an overwhelming positive reception that reignited his passion. The intimate and appreciative audience’s response was a testament to his music’s potential to resonate deeply. This experience spurred him to simplify his approach, focusing on the pure essence of songwriting and performance, ultimately leading to the creation of his most compelling work to date.

Today, Mahuna stands as an artist who has weathered life’s storms with resilience and creativity. His latest album, a culmination of years of growth and introspection, is his finest work yet. Mahuna’s music, deeply rooted in personal experience and emotional authenticity, continues to captivate and connect with listeners, fulfilling the promise of that young boy entranced by the sounds emanating from behind closed doors.

New Album ‘FOREVER IS MINE’ is out now. Available on all streaming services a well as 100% Analog Vinyl.

“The album’s tracklist reads like chapters in a memoir… a meditation on journeys taken, ghosts embraced, and the small epiphanies found in everyday life.” — Songlens

“This album is a series of lived moments. Each track is a map pin dropped into my past—whether in Berlin, Kerry, or Paris,” says Mahuna. “The performances were captured live, preserving their raw spontaneity and emotional immediacy.”

MAHUNA ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM FOREVER IS MINE, OUT MAY 30th

Belfast-born and Berlin-based songwriter Mahuna returns with Forever Is Mine, a sweeping, impressionistic collection of songs shaped by decades of personal evolution, and sonic exploration. Out on May 30th, the album marks Mahuna’s most ambitious work to date—a 25-year journey brought to life in 10 evocative tracks, each rooted in memory and place in his debut long-player. Available on streaming platforms and special edition vinyl.

The lead single “Shimmering Light”, out from April, sets the tone with its lyrical recall of early morning stillness around Kinsale Bay. Rich with textured guitar work and emotional nuance, the song captures a moment of deep familial connection and natural beauty.

“This album is a series of lived moments. Each track is a map pin dropped into my past—whether in Berlin, Kerry, or Paris,” says Mahuna. “The performances were captured live, preserving their raw spontaneity and emotional immediacy.”

Berlin-based Irish songwriter Mahuna recently unveiled singles Shimmering Light and Far-Off Summer’s Night, intimate highlights from his debut album Forever Is Mine, which has already garnered critical acclaim for its lyrical depth and sonic grace.

The latest Summer Single ‘Far-Off Summer’s Night’ is built around the line “Just a shadow it would seem / Walking with you to the stream”, the single is a haunting, folk-inflected elegy to Mahuna’s late father, set against the twilight fields of Monaghan. With stars above as “the only light”, the track unfolds like a whispered memory—fleeting, fragile, and deeply felt.

“This one came from a dream,” says Mahuna. “The kind you wake from and carry all day. I wanted to hold that feeling long enough to sing it.”

Repeating refrains—“The hour is late / The fireside waits”—anchor the song in the liminal space between dusk and memory, where presence and absence collide. Like much of Forever Is Mine, the track was recorded live to preserve its raw immediacy.

Far-Off Summer’s Night invites us into one such place—where grief lingers like fog and every footstep echoes.

Stream Far-Off Summer’s Night from September 12th.
The album Forever Is Mine is out now on all platforms and limited-edition vinyl.
