Euros Childs (first name pronounced [ˈəirɔs], in Welsh; surname /ˈtʃaɪldz/, in English; born 1975) is a Welsh musician and songwriter, best known as the frontman for the band Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. His sister is the violinist Megan Childs. He was born in Freshwater East, Pembrokeshire, in Wales, and was educated at the Welsh-medium school Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bro Myrddin in Carmarthenshire.
Career
His first solo music appeared in 2005, and his first single, "Donkey Island", was released on Wichita Recordings in November of that year. His band for the subsequent UK tour included Gorky's drummer Peter Richardson and fellow Welsh musician Alun Tan Lan, who also occasionally opens for Childs.
Childs' first solo album, Chops, was released on Wichita in February 2006, quickly followed by the other single from the album, "Costa Rita". By the middle of 2006, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci had announced their split, allowing Childs and Richard James to focus on their solo projects.
Childs' second solo album, the all-Welsh language Bore Da, was released in March 2007. This was followed in August of the same year by The Miracle Inn.
His fourth album, Cheer Gone, was released in October 2008. It was recorded over six days in Nashville with a band that included Richardson and Steven Black, and had contributions from several Nashville musicians including Matt Swanson of Lambchop.
In 2009, Childs made his next album, Son of Euro Child, available as a free download from his official website. He also formed the duo Jonny with Teenage Fanclub's Norman Blake. They released their debut, Jonny, in 2011.
Childs continues to record and release music (including 2010's mostly instrumental Face Dripping and the live album Yn Fyw/Live 2005) on his own label, National Elf. Much of it is only available as downloads from his official website.
His latest album, Ends, was released on 28 November 2011. Its songs consist mostly of vocals and piano, with Megan Childs contributing violin on a few tracks.
2012 has seen Childs establish another duo, Cousins, this time with Race Horses' Meilyr Jones, who previously appeared on Bore Da and The Miracle Inn. Their album First Cousins was released on 12 March 2012 on National Elf.
