ABOUT

Rubyworks is an independent record label and artist management company based in Dublin, Ireland. For over two decades, we’ve been proud to champion distinctive, world-class talent — building lasting careers for artists whose music cuts through the noise and resonates far beyond borders.

Since launching in 2001, Rubyworks has helped shape the global success of artists like Hozier, whose recent single Too Sweet became a cultural phenomenon — topping Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart and amassing millions of streams worldwide.

Rubyworks has a long-standing reputation for nurturing iconic Irish voices, including Sinéad O’Connor, Hothouse Flowers, Mary Coughlan, and Gavin Friday, while developing the next wave of talent such as LYRA, Hudson Taylor, Ryan Sheridan, Wyvern Lingo, and David Keenan.

A recent breakout moment came with Kabin Crew and The Spark — a joyous anthem created by a group of Cork schoolchildren and music mentors that unexpectedly caught fire online and across the Irish charts. A heartwarming story of creativity, community, and the power of grassroots music, The Spark showcased Rubyworks’ commitment to supporting meaningful and surprising moments in Irish culture.

Instrumental artist Jamie Duffy is another Rubyworks success story in recent years. His emotionally charged piano compositions have drawn comparisons to the likes of Hans Zimmer, and his music has struck a chord with millions around the world. From viral streaming hits to sold-out headline shows, Duffy’s rapid ascent has made him one of Ireland’s most exciting contemporary composers.

With a growing roster that includes rising talents like Saibh Skelly, Rubyworks remains dedicated to finding and developing exceptional artists — and helping them connect with audiences across streaming platforms, stages, and cultures.

The Rubyworks team — led by founder and Managing Director Niall Muckian, alongside A&R and Label Manager Sara Meneghini, A&R and Label Support Manager Rebecca Breene McDonnell, and Multimedia Designer Anna Sherlock — brings passion, experience, and creative vision to every release.

Rubyworks are thrilled to be working with our roster of gifted bands and solo artists at an exciting and vibrant time for the music business. From the vinyl revival to the streaming explosion and forward to the challenges and opportunities offered by Web3, our love for music has remained undimmed and the thrill of working with talented artists is more rewarding than ever.
