Since beginning her solo career in 2007 she has released three albums: Sea Sew , Passenger , and At Swim . Hannigan's music has received award nominations both in Ireland and the United States.

Early life and education
Hannigan was born in Dublin but grew up in Kilcloon, County Meath, Ireland. She attended primary school at Scoil Oilibhéir Naofa in Kilcloon and secondary school at The King's Hospital in Palmerstown and enrolled at Trinity College, Dublin to study French and art history.
Personal life
Hannigan briefly studied English and art history at Trinity College in Dublin. During her first week at university she became friends with Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice. Hannigan eventually left university to travel with Rice across Europe, with a particular focus on Italy.
Returning to Ireland, both Hannigan and Rice began to work together recording music, including songs like "Unplayed Piano" and "Once I Loved." Hannigan featured on Rice's first two solo albums and a number of EP's and live recordings. Both Irish artists toured for a number of years together, but in 2007 Hannigan left Damien Rice and his band the afternoon before a live show in Munich. Effectively Rice fired Hannigan from the band.
Returning to Dublin, from 2007 onward Hannigan began to focus on her solo career which to date has produced three solo albums. In 2015, Hannigan decided to move from Dublin to London to begin a new life and to begin writing new material for her third studio album At Swim. She also began a part-time degree in English literature.
As of 2016, Hannigan planned to return to Dublin with her London-based husband following her At Swim tour of Europe and the US.
