mytown sometimes stylized as Mytown and MyTown was an Irish boy band established in 1996 by members Danny O'Donoghue, Mark Sheehan, Terry Daly and Paul Walker.[1] They released one album, the epomynous Mytown and had a number of successful singles before splitting up in 2001, when two of the prominent members of the band, namely Danny O’Donoghue and Mark Sheehan formed the pop rock band the Script alongside Glen Power. Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, Mytown is tagged as a boy band but there is more to this foursome than good looks. Their debut album was co-written by the band members, Marc Sheehan, Paul Walker, Terry Daly, and Danny O’Donoghue.

Mytown first got together in 1996 at the now defunct Digges Lane performing arts school in Dublin. Marc, a well-known choreographer, was teaching hip-hop dancing at Digges when he met Paul, a former actor who’s appeared in Irish TV shows and films. They talked about putting together a group, but something was missing. Terry also had a similar goal in mind. Danny, the youngest member, was the last to join Mytown. The group got together and began harmonizing and writing songs.
