Eamon

Eamon Doyle (September 19, 1984), professionally known as Eamon, is an American pop and R&B singer and songwriter. He is best known for his hit single, "Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back)". Eamon was born in Staten Island, New York. His father was a member of a doo wop group. He began singing at the age of nine, and at the age of fifteen he caught the attention of 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. Eamon was eventually signed to Jive Records. Eamon's debut single, "Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back)" immediately caught the attention of urban, rhythmic, and pop radio stations when it was released in the U.S. in late 2003 due to its stripped down production and un-edited profanities about an ex-lover who was two-timing the singer. Jive fast tracked the release of a music video for the song and commissioned an album for release in early 2004. The single reached the top 20 of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and the popularity of the song helped his album, I Don't Want You Back, debut in the top 10 of the U.S. Billboard 200. The success of the song prompted Jive to release the song internationally where it reached number-one in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands and Sweden. In Italy his single was such a big hit that he sang an Italian version, called "Solo". The success of the single and the controversial nature of its lyrics prompted production of an answer single, "F.U.R.B. (Fuck You Right Back)", by unknown female singer Frankee who had claimed to be Eamon's ex-girlfriend (which Eamon denied).1 The song also earned Eamon a Guinness World Record for "the most expletives in a #1 song". After the success of "Fuck It", Eamon released a second single, "I Love Them Ho's (Ho-Wop)". However it did not perform well on the charts. His new album is entitled Love & Pain and has received warm reviews in the U.S. and abroad with the release of his new single entitled "How Could You (Bring Him Home)" in November 2006. Leave him alone, H8ERS!
