In addition to Brad Heidi, Eva Campbell, Negro Impacto, Darian June, Paddy Keyes and Temi Nla made the shortlist.
During the month of March, 25 participating radio stations including East Coast FM reached out for submissions as part of the talent search.
An industry panel then selected the acts to go forward to play at the special showcase event at The Academy on Tuesday.
Irish Music Month is a partnership between Hot Press and the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland.
It is supported by the newly established Coimisiún na Meán.
