And, as such, music still plays an enormous part in his life, which is likely why the BBC considered him a worthy replacement for Guy Garvey who will be taking a break from his 6 Music radio show.
The news that the Cork-native, who has previously presented one-off segments, would be taking the reins was announced earlier today, with Cillian revealing that the appointment marks a big moment, both personally and professionally.
Commenting on the new gig which will kick off on March 3 and run until the summer, the 42-year-old said in a statement:
As a music lover, mixtape obsessive and long-time 6 Music fan I couldn’t be more chuffed to be asked to sit in for Guy on his hiatus.

Giving a rare insight into the life he shared with his wife and two sons, he continued:
His show has been a constant companion for me and my family on Sunday afternoons for many years now, and it will be an honour to pick the tunes in that slot for a while.
“6Music is the best radio station in the world and I look forward to becoming a temporary house guest,” he added.
Cillian’s previous on-air stints have already endeared listeners to him, with many sounding thrilled that he’ll be back in regular rotation.
Wonderful news! Loved his Christmas show. Can’t wait! 😊 #CillianMurphy
