He continued his musical studies the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin and launched an Irish country music career. Henry McMahon of The Mainliners Showband offered him one of his own compositions, "The Nearest to Perfect" that became a hit for English in 1999. Signing a contract with Ritz Records, English won Best International Entertainer at the Irish National Entertainers Awards ceremony in both 2004 and 2005.He went on to record a number of albums, and a number of hit singles including Locklins Bar, Friday At The Dance, A Million Memories, Tuam Beat and many more.
Accolades and awards have come his way galore, including “Entertainer Of The Year” & “Male Vocalist Of The Year” along with 2 platinum albums, 6 studio albums and a brand new album due for release early 2025.
