Since being awarded StudyVox FM Musician of the Year by Kylie Minogue, Emma has remained one of the few independent UK artists to proudly represent the pop genre, and has been award-nominated alongside Adele, Katy Perry & Shawn Mendes for her efforts.

The holder of a first class degree in Music Composition, Emma has taken part in Masterclasses at Abbey Road & Maida Vale Studios through the BBC and has achieved airplay on BBC Radio 1 with her single 'Cherry On Top'.

Emma is passionate about interacting with her audience and involving them in all aspects of her music. She gave a TEDx Talk on how and why she does this through her YouNow livestreams, which have amassed over 10 million views worldwide and earned her nominations for an iHeartRadio Music Award (Social Star category, 2017) and Shorty Award (Livestreamer of the Year, 2018).

Also a regular YouTuber and online influencer, Emma was selected as a YouTube NextUp Alumni (London) in 2017. She is an influencer and ambassador for the upcoming livestream and crypto app Rize.

Emma's second album B.R.A.V.E was released in November 2017 and achieved over 20,000 streams in its first month as an independent release. She is the author of 'The Songwriter's Handbook for Beginners' and is currently working on a second volume coming in late 2018.
