Grafton Talent is a grassroots initiative born from the unlikely partnership of a street musician and a restaurant entrepreneur, both driven by a shared passion for music and a desire to support undiscovered artists. Marco Giannantonio, an Italian lawyer turned entrepreneur in the food, wine, and entertainment industries, has long championed young talent through events in Ireland and Italy. David Owens, a former mathematics student, spent a decade performing as a street musician across Europe, gaining global recognition for his large-scale piano performances.
After witnessing many gifted but invisible songwriters struggling for exposure, he and Marco joined forces to create Grafton Talent, an initiative dedicated to providing financial backing and continuous support to emerging musicians.
Among them is Dylan Harcourt, one of the latest talents supported by the project, who is set to release his debut EP in 2025.
Grafton Talent proves that an odd pairing can lead to extraordinary opportunities, ensuring that talented musicians receive the support they need to share their art with the world.
