Temper-Mental MissElayneous

Temper-Mental MissElayneous, born Elayne Harrington is an accomplished performer in the Irish Hiphop and poetry world. She wrote her first poem at 9 and then discovered Hiphop, which was to become her driving force along with her first love – Punk.

After several solo years on the circuit, the straight-edge punk rapper became an official duo act alongside turntablist DJ FunkTom in 2014. TMM are an anarcho-punk Hiphop duet based in Dublin. 

Complex lyrical rap patterns, along with sampling, scratching, beatbox and bodhrán accompaniment make this Celtic Hiphop couple an aggressively playful, provocative and engaging live music act and performative experience.

Elayne is also a visual artist and pedagogue of creative arts. Her education includes Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sculpture & Expanded Practice (Fine Art) with Critical Cultures and Professional Masters in Art & Design Education (NCAD, Dublin). 
She is currently teaching at post-primary level in Dublin, Ireland.
