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.”

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.

“FEMME HOUSE’s impact happens at the intersection of community support, shared resources, and an abundant opportunity that results from combining the two,” says HERMIXALOT, Co-Founder and Executive Director, FEMME HOUSE. “We are honored to have partners like W Hotels who share our commitment to education, visual representation, and ultimately, equity in music.”
