Einir Dafydd is a Welsh singer who won the third series of the television talent show Wawffactor and the 2007 Cân i Gymru (A Song for Wales) competition.
Dafydd started her career as the lead singer in the band Garej Dolwen,[1] but first came to prominence after winning the Wawffactor competition televised on S4C in March 2006.[2] This provided the opportunity for exposure on other S4C television shows, such as Wedi 7 and Noson Lawen, as well as the chance to record a CD. Her debut EP, titled Y Garreg Las (The Blue Rock) was launched in June 2006 at Theatr y Gromlech, Crymych, and featured three songs and a music video.
December 2006 saw Dafydd share a stage with Bryn Fôn and Bryn Terfel at the Llangollen Christmas concert that was televised on S4C.[3] In March 2007, Dafydd won the Cân i Gymru competition with a song titled "Blwyddyn Mas" (Year Out) that she had co-written with Ceri Wyn Jones.[4]
A second EP, Ffeindia Fi (Find Me), was released in the summer of 2007 which contained six tracks, including Blwyddyn Mas. Since 2010 Einir presented the Welsh children's service on S4C - Cyw before leaving to pursue a career as a primary school teacher.
