Access: A Warner Music Ireland Initiative for Ireland Music Week 2025 artists

ACCESS is a program designed to support each artist as they chart their path in the music industry, providing them with additional tools, training, mentorship, and valuable insights from the Warner Music Ireland team. All 50 showcasing acts from Ireland Music Week 2025 were considered for this opportunity. After watching their performances, Warner Ireland team and the international delegates, selected 6 standout artists to participate in the programme.


ACCESS will give the selected artists access to valuable insights and strategies from a major label, helping them develop deeper knowledge and skills to support their growth. There's no obligation for either the label or the artists to work together in the future — it's purely a learning opportunity. Warner will also take this chance to bring their international team to Dublin to share their expertise while learning more about the local music scene.

Modules include Social Media Strategy, Digital & Release Strategy, Building Your Brand, Approaching Media, A&R, Publishing and Songwriting.
