Sinéad Mulvey (born 22 January 1988) is an Irish professional singer & air hostess who, alongside Black Daisy, represented her country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 with the pop-rock song "Et Cetera". The song was performed in the second semi-final but missed out on qualification to the grand final.
Mulvey appeared on You're a Star prior to Eurovision 2009, but missed out on the final.
Sinéad started singing at the age of thirteen, as she was picked as the star role in the musical Cinderella. In 2005 she competed in RTÉ's talent show You're a Star.
She works as an air hostess with Aer Lingus.
The deadline for submissions for the Irish selection process for the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 was 2 February 2009, with RTÉ inviting entries from as early as 20 December 2008. On 20 February 2009, Sinéad, alongside rock band Black Daisy, won the Irish pre-selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow, Russia. Sinéad and Black Daisy beat off competition from five other contenders in "The Late Late Show Eurosong Special", receiving 78 points out of a possible 80, to earn the right to represent Ireland in Moscow. Mulvey was described as "shocked but honoured" at the triumph.
Arriving in Moscow with the RTÉ delegation prior to the semi-finals, Mulvey was photographed at various locations around the city in the company of Black Daisy and Irish Eurovision television commentator Marty Whelan and radio commentator Larry Gogan. Mulvey attired herself in a variety of costumes throughout the rehearsal period but settled for hair extensions and a black "rock chick" outfit in the style of Katy Perry meets Avril Lavigne for the semi-final performance.
