ABOUT XIII DOORS
Blending hard-hitting riffs and memorable choruses, XIII Doors emerged from the vision of singer and multi-instrumentalist DJ O'Sullivan. Hailing from the west of Ireland, DJ was raised in Shannon, County Clare. DJ’s musical endeavours have included numerous bands and theatrical productions, granting him the privilege of touring across Europe, the UK, the US, and the Middle East.
The musical essence of XIII Doors draws from a diverse range of influences, blending the sounds of Alter Bridge, Alice in Chains, Daughtry, and Tremonti, among others.
DJ conceived XIII Doors with a clear purpose: to ignite inspiration in others and encourage them to pursue their dreams. This fusion of hard rock and heavy metal is further enriched by flavors of world music, particularly (but not limited to) Irish, Arabic and Hindustani traditions.
The band and members of have numerous notable endorsements including Rotosound Strings, Warwick Basses and Ampeg Amps. XIII Doors stands on the verge of delivering a sonic experience that is both evocative and transformative. Their story is just beginning, having toured the US with Geoff Tate and opened directly for Michael Schenker in Ireland, XIII Doors is ready to carve their name into the annals of music history.
