About Me

emaar is a partnership between the songwriting and production talents of Upacci (i.e. Robert Upward and Matteo) and the wonderfully soaring vocals of Ellie Henderson. Whether it be commercial dance, electro-pop or ballads, emaar have developed the ability to do justice to any genre.
emaar started when the producers behind production outfit Upacci decided to look for a singer that could provide the "vioce of an angel" for a few tracks they had written with a more dance/pop feel than the club mixes they had become known for. Sifting through demos that had been sent in to the studio Rob heard "something" in one particular demo and Ellie was then called up for an audition. After she had sung just two lines, Rob and Matteo knew they had found their angel!!
Two self-promoted demos were quickly put together featuring the tracks "Higher" and "Without You". They were sent to radio and in the blink of an eye both songs were picked up by radio Australia wide and emaar had a national presence!! "Higher" was quickly signed up by Australia's leading electro label Central Station Records. The track was sent to the German masters Hiver&Hammer who had just completed work for Faithless. Upon hearing the track, H&H were more than happy to sign on for remix duties. Their club mix burned up dance floors all over the world. The resultant "Higher" CD EP release showcased emaar 's musical prowess with the inclusion of an acoustic version of rare power and simplicity.
To date the music of emaar has featured on radio playlists all over Australia. The club remixes have been part of DJ playlists (e.g. Tiesto, Van Burren, Cosmic Gate) and dance parties all over the world. Emaar also have the ability, as musicians, to support their sound with live shows that can be intimate and acoustic as well as powerful and energetic!! emaar have produced a continous flow of music that now amounts to 2 Digital D'load full-length studio albums, 1 CD-EP, 5 Digital D'load singles, 2 12"vinyls and appearances on many CD compilations.
