Cian Downing is a singer-songwriter hailing from Stevenage, Hertfordshire, emerging onto the British indie scene with his infectious energy and refreshing melodic songwriting in the style of Billy Bragg, Paul Weller and The Specials. These influences, combined with the insightful social commentary and personal reflections in his lyrics, give Cian’s music a unique sound, attracting fans across the UK.

Cian has supported the likes of The K’s and played at the Isle Of Wight festival. “Don’t come calling me again!” is Cian Downing’s message to his doubters in his brand new single ‘Untouchable’, a toe-tapping indie-ska belter that has become a sing-along moment at live gigs in a matter of a few short weeks.

Led by a descending keyboard riff, the lyrics paint a picture of the rollercoaster of emotions that most young upcoming musicians face in today’s industry. From “Feeling so Untouchable” to doubting it all, the track captures the reality of Cian’s experience to life. 

A track soaked in optimism for the future, but tinged with regret at mistakes from the past, this is Cian’s strongest track to date, making him one of the finest songwriters on the scene.
