Amano De Londra Miura is a singer, songwriter, poet, performance artist and arts facilitator.

Her live performances attune to people, place and season, blending Irish sean-nós with contemporary collaborations, nu-folk compositions and spoken word. She connects audiences to their inner landscapes and while creating points of encounter with the greater-than-human ecosystem.

Since reigniting her artistic practice in 2023, Amano has been kindly supported by the Arts Council Traditional Arts Bursary Award, An Sparánacht Síol (An Taibhdhearc – The National Irish Language Theatre) and the Creative Work Development Bursary from Kerry County Council Arts.

In 2026 she is one of three Irish performing artists participating in Island Connect, a European residency exchange programme for critical engagement with the themes of islander identities and island socio-political realities. This exchange brings Amano to Eilersten & Granados Teaterkompani, Stamsund, Norway and BIRCA (Bækkelund International Residency Centre for Artists), Bornholm, Denmark.

Amano has played festivals and venues including: The Button Factory, Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich, Electric Picnic, Féile IMRAM, IMBOLC Derry, Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, International Literature Festival Dublin, Fuinneamh Festival and The National Museum Of Ireland – Collin’s Barracks.

Her music has featured on Irish and international radio including RTÉ Radio 1, RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta, BBC Radio Ulster, Radio Kerry, Raidió na Life, Raidió Rí-Rá and Raidió Fáilte. Her collaborative electronic project with Kalabanx, THREAD, was nominated for “Album of the Year” and “Song of the Year” at the 2025 Gradaim Nós Irish Language Music Awards.

Amano’s poetry has been published in Channel Magazine, Bia! Zine and Airmid’s Journal, has been broadcast on Eat The Storms Poetry Podcast, Wander Poetry Podcast and Radio Kerry, and has been exhibited in Kinsale Library.

Her contributions to Irish television and radio include RTÉ’s The Tommy Tiernan Show (March, 2026), feature writing for RTÉ Gaeilge (online) and radio appearances on Irish language current affairs show Tús Áite (RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta).

Amano is currently integrating animistic and ecological perspectives into her practice under the tutorship of Anam Shamanic Arts while beginning to explore her Japanese cultural heritage and deepening her sean-nós singing practice.

She has attended masterclasses with renowned Irish singers including Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh, Gearóidín Breathnach and Lasairfhíona Ní Chonaola and is active in Dublin-based singing community Amhránaithe an Chlub.
