Yes, I'm more than happy to provide background music in between my sets.
I love performing across London, there is something so charming about the array of gorgeous historic venues.
My artistic influences are really broad, I love the greats from all genre but one I keep returning to is always Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul!
I trained classically as a vocalist from a very young age and started performing as a featured soprano in chamber choirs. It's been go go go ever since and I've had the pleasure of playing some incredible events and venues across the UK.
My favourite events are always intimate events where I can really connect with an audience, especially with a silky jazz and lounge set.
For small events my setup typically takes 30-minutes and for larger events it's 60-minutes. My standard set timings are 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minutes but I can be flexible based on event requirements.
I'm happy to play outside but ask for shade/cover in extreme weather and a flat level surface.
My clients will be sent my rep list and can always let me know what their preferences are. I'm always looking to expand my repertoire and will perform custom requests when possible.
‘We cannot thank Emily enough for making our event so special. Her voice is just out of this world—so soulful, rich, and full of emotion. Our guests are still talking about how amazing she was!’ - Corporate Event Client
‘I booked Emily for my aisle walk and cocktail hour and I was blown away by her talent. Her voice was absolutely perfect for our intimate setting. She hand picked a set based on our favourite artists and it completely lifted the mood. Our guests loved her and we'll be recommending her to everyone! 10/10!!!’ - Wedding Client
‘Emily regularly performs at our restaurant and always brings just the right energy and ambiance. Our guests are always so impressed and repeatedly book to return whenever she is performing’ - Venue Owner
Yes, I have a fully self-contained wireless set up.
