In Jan 06, Emma moved to London, where the world of musical opportunities seemed to open many doors for her. Once arriving in London, she was introduced to the world of dance and began providing vocals and writing toplines for many well respected DJ/Producers such as Steve Mac, Seamus Haji, Max Graham, Mark Wilkinson, Steve Smart, Danny Kirsh and many more.

...............................
Whilst Emma had much fun and some success in this field, her true passion led within the more commercial, soulful/pop genre, so due to working so closely with Mark Wilkinson (Kidology Records), Mark has giving Emma the freedom to find her true style and has now signed Emma for a 5 album production, development and recording deal for her long awaited album, with a view to sell on to a major label.

Emma will be working along side both himself and the incredible Richard Searle (Xpress 2 & Bugs in the attic) to produce the first album and will also be teaming up with many successful and credible writers/artists such as David Sneddon, Jay Mien, Ben Adams, Lifford and Jerry Brown to help achieve and create an album to be proud of....so watch this space!!!
