Introducing our headliner…
JYellowL is a RTÉ Choice Music Prize nominated artist who has been consistently paving the way in Irish hip hop over the past number of years. The achievements speak for themselves, from supporting artists like Burna Boy, De La Soul, Nelly and The Game, to placements among the likes of the official FIFA soundtrack, Normal People and 1.2 million streams on Spotify alone in 2023 - all as an independent artist. His Irish, Jamaican and Nigerian roots have shaped his powerful, distinct sound and the Dublin-London based rapper is known for his effortless flow and music rooted in rap but fused with afrobeat, dancehall, RnB and soul. Most recently J was one of the finalists to represent Ireland at the 2024 Eurovision with his song Judas ft. Toshin, an incredible kickstart to another prosperous year for the young star.
