The title track from Arlene Baileys album 'I Am Woman' celebrates female empowerment and mirrors who she is as an artist.
Arlene hails from Sallins in Co.Kildare and as a recording artist, she has embraced country music in a way that has gained her much recognition.
She left home at 17 and went on tour with a band but after a few years of working the club scene in the UK she decided it was time to go solo and a signed a recording contract with Crashed Records in Dublin.
As a solo artist, her talent brought her to many places around the world including tours of the Middle East, Europe and eventually to the United States where she made a temporary home for herself. During her time in America, Arlene played the Irish scene throughout New York and Boston and recorded 2 albums in Nashville.
Her debut album 'Chain Of Love' was released in 2003 with the title track reaching No.51 in the European country charts and No.9 in France.
Her second album 'I Am Woman' was released in 2007 and Arlene found herself working alongside some of Nashvilles finest musicians such as Bob Hatter, Donnie Skaggs and Gene Rabbai.
She returned to Ireland for a promotional tour and received an award for 'Best Country Newcomer' in 2007.
After taking a lengthy break from the music business, Arlene is back doing what she loves best. Her band 'Bailey' is making an impact on the country rock scene, having recently released a new album with a number of original songs direct from Nashville.
In her spare time Arlene weight trains, tends to her small farm of 5 rescue animals and is an advocate for mental health issues.
