Emilie discovered her passion for music at a young age singing along to
her mother's RnB records. She had her first stage performance singing solo
at age 4 and continued performing throughout her childhood whether it be
singing, dancing or acting.
At age 12 Emilie discovered her talent for writing music and used song writing
as somewhere to release her emotions. She directly approached the subject of
being bullied for many years at school in a song she wrote for her GCSE Music
exam, 'Isolation' achieving a grade A.
At age 15 she had her first taste of a recording studio environment for her work
experience at a recording studio in Cardiff. This also led to a performance at
Cardiff's 'Party in the Park'.
After school Emilie decided to learn more about her trade in Music College and
was introduced to MIDI Sequencing and Digital Music Creation Software. She was
also introduced to online social networking sites such as MySpace as a way to
reach potential fans. She started writing for her first album in 2006 and posted
her music online.
After only 8 months at college and within 3 months of posting her music online
she was offered her first record deal with an independent label. There were
unfortunately financial difficulties and consequently Emilie could not release
her record with this label and decided to move on.
Emilie spent some time emerging into a strong and alternative artist and
collaborating with guitarists, songwriters and DJ's to develop the new style of
music she had created. Now an accomplished performer and with a catalogue of
fresh sounding underground songs, she is ready to present herself.
After several more offers from labels and management Emilie decided to work
closely with two companies, one in the UK, Staveley Records and one in the USA,
JAMS management.
The first official release came on 'Unsigned Talent 2007' through Staveley
Records. This was a compilation of the best unsigned artists and bands and
featured her song 'Fooled'.
Emilie first met Jams Management through MySpace and her first trip to the USA
as a performer in September 2007 was hugely successful. Working alongside people
that have worked with the likes of Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Avril
Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson to name a few, she gained a wealth of experience and
returned in December 2007 for a number of USA performances.
Now on the cusp of stardom, Emilie is set to pave the way for a new generation
of musicians creating digital music and developing new genres. She breaks the
mould of British female artists and is not afraid to stand up and be different.
