Biography






= Early life and career

=
At the age of 13, Quinn started singing in bands. That gave her a boost in confidence, which prompted her to take on acting lessons. Quinn followed theatre studies at the Belfast Institute of Further and Higher Education (BIFHE) and went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts honours degree at Queen's University Belfast in 2004. She didn't go on with the studies, bored with writing essays, but instead chose to learn the art hands on, in the theatre.
Quinn thinks she's lucky to be one of the few theatre talents that got a series of roles. Her skills as a musician, certainly helped with that. She performed in bands, as an in house singer, and toured pubs and clubs with an ABBA tribute band. Some of the interesting theatre pieces she played in, are the musicals West Side Story (2006) and Dancing Shoes (The George Best Story, 2010), the rock-and-play Huzzies (2012) and The Threepenny Opera (2018).

When she asked for help, estate agents and politicians told her to simply sell the place. She left the house boarded up for a while.
