Who we are
About
With international success stories like Hozier, Rodrigo y Gabriela and Hudson Taylor, whose 2020 album charted at number one on the Irish album chart; Rubyworks continues to develop talent on the principles originally identified by founder Niall Muckian. Charismatic artists performing unforgettable songs with the ability to thrill concert audiences from Dublin to Denver and beyond.
Over the course of the last nineteen years, Rubyworks has released albums by many important Irish artists, including Fight Like Apes, Ryan Sheridan, Wyvern Lingo, David Keenan, Funeral Suits, Hothouse Flowers, Sinead O’Connor, Mary Coughlan and Gavin Friday.
In more recent times the label has developed a new generation of Irish talent including Hozier, in partnership with Columbia Records in North America and Australia and Island / Universal for the rest of the world, Irish Women In Harmony, Lyra, Jamie Duffy and Saibh Skelly.
Putting out remixes for our artists, we've worked with Galantis, Meduza, Sofi Tukker, Fatboy Slim, Shane Codd & John Gibbons among other great names.
The ongoing success of Rodrigo y Gabriela - Grammy Winners in 2019 - is inextricably linked to Rubyworks. Niall Muckian has managed Rod & Gab since 2001, and their global success story - 1.8 million albums sold worldwide, and countless sold-out tours across the continents - is part and parcel of the foundation of the label and our associated management services.
Experience and consistency are key elements to the Rubyworks story. Music Manager Roger Quail joined in 2005, bringing a wealth of international knowledge with him. Label Manager Elaine McCann ushers in a wealth of sales and logistical experience from her previous role at The Orchard distribution.
