It wasn’t until I began working in a recording studio, while at university and discovering the infinite number of sounds at my fingertips that I began to understand my creative abilitys. Suddenly, I felt as if I had come home. //__________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ _____“It brought back the same feelings I had when I was a child listening to my parents’ record collection of Bob Marley, Soca music, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklyn and all those other wonderful sounds of American 50's and 60’s R&B, during one of our many house parties. It transformed me back to those days of reluctantly doing the washing-up in my teens and escaping into David Bowie, Queen, Elton John and various British Rock Artists playing on the radio in the kitchen.//__________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________“As a graduate, job after boring office job, I had only one motivation in mind! That was to earn the money to buy more technical equipment, to develop my craft and buy more albums to feed my music addiction.” //__________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ _Emma's UK music experiences in London, led her to recognition in the USA and to showcase for the late legendary Arif Mardin (1932 – 2006, producer and head of Manhattan label- producing Aretha Franklin, Average White Band, Norah Jones and Phil Collins to name but a few), and Bruce Lundvall of Blue Note Records/President EMI Music, DJ McLachlan, amongst other industry heavyweights.
