Music like Eamon

Eamon Doyle (born September 19, 1983), better known by his mononym Eamon, is an American singer and songwriter. He is mainly known for his 2003 hit single "Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back)".

Some of the songs written by Eamon are in a style called ho-wop, which "blends the smoothness of R&B with the grittiness of hip hop". Eamon's songs are typically soft ballads mixed with aggressive lyrics with the theme of infidelity.

Eamon was born in Staten Island, New York City, the son of Diane (née Zizzo), an Italian American nurse, and Walter Doyle, a counselor with a private practice, of Irish descent. His father was a member of a doo-wop group by the name of The Elations. He began singing at age nine and touring and performing with his father's group at the same age. At 15, while working in a music studio, he caught the attention of Nat Robinson the CEO. of First Priority Music who in turn turned Eamon on to songwriter/producer Milk Dee, who had worked with musicians such as MC Lyte, Janet Jackson, and Mary J. Blige. Dee and his co-producer Mark Passy helped refine Eamon's sound. After Nat Robinson shopped Eamon to over 22 different record labels Nat Robinson finally secured a record deal with record executive Barry Weiss and Eamon was eventually signed to Jive Records.
