About Una Healy

  • Una Theresa Imogene Healy (previously Una Foden) (born 10 October 1981) is an Irish singer-songwriter, musician and television presenter.
  • She rose to fame in 2008 as a member of the five-piece girl group The Saturdays, who are signed to Fascination and Polydor Records.
  • In 2006, Healy represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest, where she sang with Brian Kennedy on the song 'Every Song Is a Cry for Love'; they placed tenth overall.
  • Healy then successfully auditioned for The Saturdays in 2007, after she had been struggling to find success in her native country.
  • Once Healy had victoriously auditioned for the band, she began recording music and releasing a number of hits. The group later gained another record deal with Geffen Records after having huge success in the United Kingdom.
  • Healy and the rest of the group then signed a deal with Island Def Jam Records and Mercury Records to distribute their music in the United States, which led to her first UK number-one single "What About Us".
  • Healy previously attempted a solo career in 2006, when she released her first extended play, Sorry.
  • Although the EP was not successful, one of the tracks from the EP was re-recorded and used for the B-side of the band's track 'Higher'. The Saturdays decided to take hiatus in 2014, upon completion of their Greatest Hits Live! tour.
  • This led to Healy's taking on a number of television opportunities, including presenting Una's Dream Ticket, taking part in the second series of Splash! and becoming a judge on Let's Get Gold.
  • Healy also became a judge on RTÉ's The Voice of Ireland where she remained on the judging panel for the fourth and fifth series; she was the winning mentor in her debut year (2015) with her act Patrick James and placed third in the fifth season.
  • While Healy was engaging in a television career, she was also writing and recording her debut album, switching to a country music influenced style as opposed to the pop and dance material performed by The Saturdays.
  • Healy's album, The Waiting Game, was released in February 2017 and she recently released a brand-new single 'Never See Me Cry' in March 2018.
