She made her début in the contemporary
music sphere in 1992 with her song "Only A Woman's Heart".
The duet, sung together with Mary Black, was Ireland's 1992
entry in the OGAE Song Contest when it came 5th. It inspired
Ireland's best selling album - the "A Woman's Heart" anthology -
and earned Eleanor the Irish Recorded Music Award for Best
New Artist of 1992. She released her début album in
1994, the self titled "Eleanor Mc Evoy" on Geffen and achieved
radio hits with "Apologize" and a re-recorded version of
"Only A Woman's Heart".

in front of 80,000 people gathered to welcome Bill Clinton.
By 1996 she had made a name for herself in America with the
release of her second album on Columbia Records, "What's
Following Me?". 1999 saw the release of her "Snapshots" album,
critically acclaimed as her best work to date. She collaborated
with Rupert Hine (who has worked with Tina Turner and Stevie
Nicks) to record "Snapshots". Eleanor calls herself a
songwriter first and foremost and her goal was to make
"Snapshots" her most song-oriented effort to date.
