From its own record label to professional recording studios (Sound Suites) at select properties, and a global music festival series, W Hotels has been fortifying its reputation as a steadfast supporter of the music industry for decades.

“Music has always been at the core of the W Hotels brand. As the brand continues its global transformation, it is an exciting next step to expand our global W Presents series and bring even more curated experiences to our hotels and reimagined properties,” says George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader, W Hotels. “These experiences showcasing established and supporting emerging artists not only represent our commitment to setting new standards within the industry, but also allow us to continue to serve as a connector of culture for our guests around the world,” he added.

W Presents is more than just a live music series – it is a vibrant platform dedicated to celebrating the universal connectivity of music. Curated by LP Giobbi, the program offers a unique opportunity for guests to immerse themselves in a world of new sounds and foster connections in the intimate setting of W Hotels properties around the world.

“W Presents is a celebration of musical diversity, designed to transport our guests through experiential journeys that are authentic to the locale,” says LP Giobbi, Global Music Director, W Hotels. “This series blends local talent with international artists to celebrate the universal language of music. It is a natural next step for the series to expand and we are proud to be empowering artistry on a global scale”, he added.

In collaboration with Femme House, LP Giobbi’s nonprofit aimed at creating opportunities for women, gender-expansive, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ creatives in the music industry, W Presents will also serve as host for free in-person production and music engineering workshops focused on beginner-level studio techniques at select markets, to invest in local talent around the country. As a further extension of W Hotels empowering musicians from the studio to the stage, select artists from the FEMME HOUSE organization will also open at W Presents shows around the world including artists such as Nadia Meliani, Adrienne, Modern Lover, Cassie, and more.
