He is from the third generation of the famed musical Ó Casaide family: His father Feargus and his uncles and aunt are the renowned and internationally acclaimed Na Casaidigh. Not surprisingly, his was a very musical upbringing as Maitiú grew up in the midst of numerous family sessions and musical gatherings. He clearly remembers his own first attempt at making music when at the tender age of 3, his grandfather, Seán, came to the house with a present of a tiny fiddle for him. Maitiú attended Scoil Bhríde, the long-established Gaelscoil just a few streets away from his home in Ranelagh where he learnt the fiddle and tin whistle with various teachers including Éamon Doorley, Michelle O’Brien and Maureen McGrattan. At the age of 10 and fascinated by the sound of his uncle Odhrán’s pipes, Maitiú decided he wanted a set of his own. He started attending classes at Na Píobairí Uilleann where he had numerous teachers over the years including Joe Doyle, Nollaig Mac Cárthaigh, Leo Rickard, Tommy Martin, Harry Bradley and Seán Potts. He later went on to have lessons with Conor McKeon. He has been also influenced by many of the great pipers, past and present; Séamus Ennis, Willie Clancy, Tommy Reck, Patsy Touhey and Seán McKiernan. His secondary school years in another famous musical hothouse, the long-established Coláiste Eoin in Stillorgan, had a big bearing on his musical development. Here he won the Siansa talent competition with his band Ar an bPreab in 2007. Since graduating from Trinity College with a degree in History and Irish in 2011, he has taken to music full- time and he plays regularly with his friends in The Cobblestone Bar in Smithfield, Dublin.
