Euros Childs (b. 1975 [http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2007/aug/24/popandrock.folk] ) is a Welsh musician and song-writer, best known as the frontman for the band Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. His sister is the violinist Megan Childs. He is originally from Pembrokeshire in Wales, and was educated at the Welsh medium school Ysgol Bro Myrddin in Carmarthenshire.

His first solo music came to light in 2005, and his first single "Donkey Island" was released on the Wichita Recordings record label in November of that year. He then embarked on a UK tour with fellow Welsh musician Alun Tan Lan.

Childs' first solo album "Chops" was released on Wichita Recordings in February 2006, quickly followed by his second and last single from the album, "Costa Rita". By the middle of 2006, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci announced their split, allowing Childs and Richard James to focus on their solo projects.

Childs' second solo album "Bore Da" was released in early March 2007 and contains songs such as "Bore Da", "Henry a Matilda Supermarketsuper", "Blaidd Tu Fas y Drws", and "Warrior". This was followed in August of the same year by "The Miracle Inn". His fourth album "Cheer Gone" is planned for release in November 2008. [http://www.euroschilds.com/]
