Emma’s first language was music. Gurgles of delight to being danced around the kitchen before she could walk, and demands for repeated lullabies into the late hours, were followed by bopping before she could take a step and, a little 
later, the acquisition of an old family scaled-down guitar which she used to play on her rocking horse in the hope that her parents would register an interest in country music . Her parents did not take the hint, waited until she was 5, and then purchased a piano. She demonstrated a remarkable aptitude for learning by ear, thus circumnavigating her teacher’s efforts, and was soon recommended to add to her repetoire with cello lessons, immediately starting in the school orchestra.
Emma continued her classical career throughout her school days, playing first cello for a Surrey orchestra entering music festivals nationwide and continuing her interest in playing the piano, occasionally reading the music by now, but more often writing it. At 15 one of her poems was published in an anthology of young people’s writing and at 17 one of her songs was used on a screening at the Curzon Theatre, London West End.
In the meantime Emma had developed quite a talent on a full size guitar and was determined to quit her enrolled college courses and migrate to the Acadamy of Contemporary Music (ACM) where she was better understood. There followed distinctions in technique, business acumen and performance and, most valulable of all, contact with a whole new world of people with which to work.
The best, of course, attracts the best so Emma was at no loss to find brilliant musicians to work with and song writing partnerships. Co-writing for WildStar Band Emma was finally able to indulge in a little country, some tongue in cheek such as “Looking for Love”, and “Cowboy”, as well as pop numbers, some interesting rock and more poignant songs, notably “Pieces” and “Footprints” all of which received many thousands of hits on myspace.
ACM retains strong business contact with its ex-graduates and Emma, with her usual enthusiasm, went for every opportunity given. One of the most valuable experiences followed successfully landing the female guitarist role in the Sony Walkman ad. Emma became the session guitarist for HBoogie’s (Estelle) electro-pop and plays keys, cello and bv for the retro band Shooting Lead Rabbits. She also plays in a female acoustic duo with a very talented vocalist, Sheryl Ryan and works with a number of college links.
In 2009, following a serendipitous meeting with the CEO of "Songphonic Records", Emma received an attractive investment from Songphonic studios enabling her to create a small studio set up and learn how to run a small pro tools rig of her own her to keep her creativity flowing and bridge the gaps between production, recording and playing. Among the beautiful songs written for Songphonic is the soulful “Don’t Let me Go”. When the studio landed Britain’s Got Talent finalist Andrew Muir this was one of the first songs recorded by him. Emma has written or co-written a number of songs for Andrew’s forthcoming album. Through Songphonic, Emma obtained an introduction to Nick Mitchell and together have written some amazing songs.
Recent cuts include "Wooahh I can make you" for platinum selling boyband "ShinE" and "Madonna" The Nicole (Universal Sweden).
