All You Need To Know About Damien Rice

Damien Rice, born on December 7, 1973, is an Irish singer-songwriter who began his career with the 1990s rock band Juniper. The band, signed to Polygram Records, found moderate success in Ireland before Rice left in 1998 to pursue a solo path, spending time busking around Europe and farming in Tuscany. The remaining Juniper members later formed the band Bell X1.

Rice's solo debut came in 2002 with the album *O*, which reached No. 8 on the UK Albums Chart and produced three top 30 singles. He followed this with his second album, *9*, in 2006, and after several collaborations, released *My Favourite Faded Fantasy* in 2014. Rice has also been involved in charitable projects like *Songs for Tibet* and the Freedom Campaign.
