Mundy's debut album Jellylegs, released by Sony Music received critical acclaim. World tours followed the success of his debut album and secured touring dates with Neil Young, Van Morrisson, Alanis Morrisette (at that time the biggest female artist in the world with her Jagged Little Pill album). One song from Jellylegs, ‘To You I Bestow’ found its way onto Baz Luhrman’s Romeo & Juliet soundrack, which went on to sell more than 11 million copies worldwide.

Despite this success, Mundy was never really cut out for the commercial restrictions of a major record label and he parted ways with Sony in 2000, going back to what he does best, writing and recording songs that leap out of the radio at you, bringing a smile to your face and making your feet tap involuntarily – I can’t count the amount of times I’ve been stuck at traffic lights, singing along as ‘July’ was bursting from the car radio, only to see other drivers doing the exact same.

Mundy’s second album, 24 Star Hotel, proved even more popular than his debut and really put the Birr singer on the map as one of the country’s finest songwriters and live performers, spawning the massive anthems, ‘Mexico’ and ‘July’. It has gone on to sell over 35,000 copies in Ireland alone, more than triple platinum.

His third album, Raining Down Arrows followed in 2004 and entered the Irish charts at Number One. Recorded in Austin, Texas, in late 2003, it showcased a new maturity in Mundy’s songwriting, and brought him even more hit singles, in the shape of ‘By Her Side’, ’10,000 Miles Away (From Harm)’ and the beautiful title track. The album has reached platinum status in Ireland.
Over the last decade, Mundy has been a constant live presence throughout Ireland and Europe, including countless headline slots around the country (he was the first artist to sell out five consecutive nights in legendary Dublin venue, Whelans), as well as incredible festival appearances at Witnness, Oxegen and Lisdoonvarna. More recently he’s played shows with Lucinda Williams, Jimmy Webb, The White Stripes and Oasis in Dublin. Mundy has developed into not just a great singer, but a brilliant performer: every time he takes to the stage, he invites the audience into his headspace for a big party, ensuring that everyone leaves with a beaming grin on their face.

Live & Confusion, the first CD/DVD set from Mundy, perfectly captured the much-loved singer and his band at the peak of their powers. With a live set that had been honed at over 100 gigs over a number of years, Mundy is a consummate entertainer, taking the audience on an emotional journey over the course of these 14 tracks (with an extra track, ‘Carpound’, on the DVD), from the sweet fragility of ‘Rainbow’ to the confessional ‘By Her Side’, and showcasing Mundy’s development into one of Ireland’s pre-eminent songwriters.

One of the encores from Live & Confusion was the Steve Earle track 'Galway Girl'. Originally Sharon Shannon had recorded 'Galway Girl' with Steve for his own record. Mundy bought Sharon out to guest on 'Galway Girl' at the Vicar Street show after they had recorded it for The Ray Darcy radio show on Today FM previously. With Live & Confusion already platinum it a surprise to everybody when the live version of 'Galway Girl' became a download hit without even being released as a single or sent to radio. In 2007 that version became the most downloaded song of the year in Ireland beating Snow Patrol's 'Chasing Car's. Mundy & Sharon were awarded an IRMA award for the honour. There was more to come however as Magner's chose the Steve Earle version for their summer Cider TV & radio campaign. Downloads of the song went through the roof reaching 30,000 in ireland and eventually a studio version was recorded. The studio version of 'Galway Girl' reached No.1 on the Irish singles chart and stayed there for 6 weeks. It has helped Live & Confusion reach double platinum status in Ireland.

Mundy joined Sharon Shannon for shows around Ireland the line began to be expanded with guest spots from Damien Dempsey and Shane McGowan. Such is it's popularity that a tour has already been booked for the UK in November 2008 with Irish shows over Xmas 2008.

2009 will see Mundy's U.S. debut with the release of Strawberry Blood, an album that is beautiful, uplfiting and a true tonic for the times. “With what’s going on with the country and the world, it’s very easy to be negative and it’s very easy to write negative songs,” Mundy muses. “It’s more challenging to be positive. This album is thought provoking and reflective but fun and upbeat. It’s about taking on a challenge…and God loves a trier.”
