RTÉ 2FM DJ Beta Da Silva's Ones To Watch is a weekly list comprised of three Irish acts that are sure to be a force to be reckoned with in the future of Irish music.
The list features homegrown acts from across Ireland who represent different genres and sounds that are up for discovery and enjoyment.
This week's Ones to Watch:
CELAVIEDMAI
Celaviedmai is a singer/songwriter & rapper who hails from Galway and has been active in the music world for 10-plus years. Over the years she has released countless singles, which led to her opening up for Mac Miller and Lil Wayne in the 3Arena Dublin back in 2013.
A decade later, she's still making her presence felt; welcome to her new era as she dives into more sounds like electronic, dance, and afro-fusion genres.
Celaviedmai's new single, Cool Ya Temper, with some help from Ben Bix, is her most ambitious effort yet and the beginning of a new chapter in her career.

PIER
Pier is an Irish-Italian alt-rock artist whose music is full of introspection and vulnerability, similar to the likes of Radiohead or Lana Del Ray.
His first single of the year Hollow was released back in May; this marked the beginning of Pier's journey in the music scene, carrying momentum with a string of live performances before he unveiled his most recent single, Campari - Pier’s epic sounding ballad tantalizes the senses from the very first note.
Aby Coulibaly
Aby Coulibaly is among the wave of the newest and freshest young voices in Ireland today. Her story began with her single Taurusin 2020, and from that moment on it's been nonstop.
2023 has been without a doubt a huge year for Aby, with numerous singles under her belt including Rewind back in January, Patience in June and, most recently the fan favorite single DYWS.
She released her debut EP At the End of The Day... It's Night earlier this month to very positive reactions and there is no doubt in anyone's mind that Aby is here to stay for a very long time.
