Olivia-Emeli, professionally known as Emeli, is a 23-year-old up and coming artist from Essex. Her soulful tones and warming presence have been gracing stages big and small across the UK. This includes television, west-end stages, weddings, birthdays, charity events and more. She also regularly sings in credible venues such as The Shard, The Savoy, The Dorchester, Wembley Stadium, and many other venues as well as travelling abroad for events.
She has the voice for any occasion and mixes her influences of Pop, R&B and Soul with her love for singing any song like it's her own. She has a very wide repertoire of songs ranging through R&B, Pop, Old-School '80s/90's tunes, Classic sing-alongs, Ballads and more.
She's able to devise a set list to suit the vibe & can learn specific songs upon request.

All that’s required is a small area to perform and an accessible plug socket.
I have a PA system.
If there is access to a plug socket where I will be performing. Also if there is parking.
Happy to curate a Spotify playlist to play in between sets.
I regularly perform at The Shard in London which is amazing!
My favourite ever artist is Beyonce; she has been a huge inspiration behind my love for music and performing! My favourite song of hers at the moment is Bodyguard from her recent album Cowboy Carter.
I started gigging in my mid teens, performing at birthday parties and charity events. Eventually going on to study musical theatre and be on tv! I was in a girl band for 3 years but I'm now a solo artist and do regular gigs at weddings, birthdays, corporate events, restaurants and hotels.
I love singing for weddings, it's such a lovely and memorable day!
I usually would arrive 30 mins - 1 hour early to set up which takes about 10-15 minutes. Each gig is different depending on how many sets I'm doing etc.
Happy to perform outside weather permitting.
Yes, I work with the client to curate a set list.
Previous clients would describe me as a great addition to their event, I always get the energy right which people love!
It varies and depends on the event. I will talk through some options I think will be suitable for your event and we'll go from there :)
