Dignam, born on May 23, 1960, at Dublin’s Holles Street Hospital, grew up in the Finglas neighborhood of the city.
At the Bel Canto House School of Singing in Dublin, he received instruction in the classical bel canto singing style from master Frank Merriman.
He was sexually assaulted by a neighbor at the age of six. This went on for three years until, at nine, Dignam asked his best friend’s brother, a guy in his twenties, for assistance.
With his wife Kathryn, who has been married for almost 37 years, Dignam has a daughter, Kiera, who is also a singer.
Ava is his granddaughter, and he has two grandchildren, Cian and Jake. He co-wrote the autobiography My Crazy World with Damian Corless, which Simon & Schuster released globally in September 2019.
