RuthAnne Cunnigham discusses her successful career as a Grammy-nominated songwriter and her collaborations with major artists.
RuthAnne Cunnigham has written songs for some of the world’s biggest performers, including Niall Horan, Britney Spears, Westlife, Niall Horan, Martin Garrix and One direction. She is a Grammy-nominated singer-song writer with multi-platinum global hits totally over 10bn steams and collaborations with greats like Diana Ross and John Legend. RuthAnne joined me on the Sunday Roast radio show on Today FM a few years ago to tell me the story behind 'Nice to meet ya', which she co-wrote with Niall Horan, a song that went on to be a huge hit. So we asked her to come back for a chat about all of her other hit songs, collaborations and her own successful career as a performer. She has some amazing stories to tell. Check out RuthAnne’s new book ‘Its not just a song’ COMEDY – the Sauna craze sweeping Ireland has now made it into the hallowed halls of Leinster House! Produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand
