Floor Staff

Floor Staff is the work of Dublin musician, producer and composer Anthony Donnelly. It is music that plays on the contrast between the grandiose and the intimate, persona and person, exploring themes of social expectations and their accompanying anxieties. With his new EP Convictions, released April 2017, Donnelly bravely takes this introspection to more personal depths, confronting bereavement, fidelity and self-esteem, transforming these concerns into joyous pop expressions.

Clash – “A pop maverick fusing electronic production to nagging, dream like melodies that grab hold of your unconscious”

The Independent UK – “Explores social anxieties and expectations through his innovative shimmering pop music”

Wonderland – “A deeply personal and delightful pop sound”

Born Music Online – “Seamlessly weaving between slick and understated to bold electro-pop grooves. He’s set for big things.”
