Emma Pears

About Me

I am a singer songwriter managed by Paul Loasby (onefifteen.com). Over the past few years I have been concentrating on my songwriting and composing; writing in many different styles including RnB, Rock, Pop, Classical, Jazz and Choral and more recently writing music for TV. One day I was in a meeting at SONY/BMG playing the label manger some tracks for other artists and he wanted to hear more. I had run out of recorded demos but spotted a piano in the room so I sat and sang and played to him. He surprised me by suggesting I go for it as an artist and that really propelled me on the journey I'm on today. Still loving writing and spending most of my time doing that, but performing is fun as well. I'm just as happy to hear someone else sing my songs as I am to do them myself... as long as they get sung! So, here it is, my first solo release. Hope you like it. Please comment and let me know what you think! Much love and thanks to Nik, Rob, Sue and the rest of the Dependant team, Jools Holland for the use of your studio and Aril; my amazing producer and friend.
