RTÉ 2FM DJ Beta Da Silva's Ones To Watch is a weekly list comprised of three emerging Irish musical acts that are sure to be a force to be reckoned with...
Flynn Johnson
The Dublin based MC is not to be messed with when it comes to his narrative-driven lyrics and unlimited rhyme schemes in any verse that he cooks up.
The vivid illustrations of everyday life in his music result in the rapper being one of the most influential songwriters in mainstream and underground hip-hop in Ireland today.
With collaborations in the bag with producers such as ROC & Odd Numbers, Flynn returns in 2024 with Calen Made Me Do It, a song about the intersection of fatherhood and artistry with a welcome surprise guest feature from Flynn's baby boy Calen.
Jess Meyer
Expect to hear a lot about the Kerry-based singer this year, as she kicks off 2022 with music for you to fall in love with.
The South African-Irish singer is one of many who excel in the indie-pop world - upon moving to Ireland, she added traditional, folk and alternative sounds to her pallet, further proving that she's capable of so much more.
See It Through, her first single of 2024, is a positive track that serves as a reminder there are always brighter times ahead.
Telekura
Telekura are a Dublin and Stockholm-based psychedelic pop duo with alternative rock vibes - as is the case with their 2023 debut single Clowns.
The duo consists of Rachel (formerly of Lost Weekend) and Stephen (formerly of We Should Be Dead). Their music, created between two cities, boasts an unorthodox take on pop with hints of art-rock and neo-psychedelia.
Their first single of 2024, girls, is out now.
Listen to The New Music Show with Beta Da Silva on RTÉ 2FM every Sunday from 8pm - 10pm, and Mondays-Thursdays from 7pm - 9pm - listen back here.
