Bio
Ireland is 16 years-old and is in grade 11 at All Saints High School. She plays the guitar and the trumpet. Ireland has been playing the guitar since she was 13, however, she first became interested in music when she was 7. Ireland has taught herself most of the instruments she plays including, guitar, piano and trumpet. She is working on her trumpet skills and beginning to change her focus of guitar to classical. Outside of music, Ireland thoroughly enjoys dancing with her dogs in the kitchen. In the future she hopes to have a job in music.
