Highlighted as one to watch by the MOBO awards, emaé has developed under several music institutions like Brighter Sound, The h. Club London, Serious Live and Help Musicians and since releasing Old Heart, has spent time finding herself all over again, travelling the familiar road back to music that artists must take after pouring everything into their first body of work.

The Women Make Music award will flesh out and amplify her music in 2021 by providing funds for campaign visuals and strong marketing and promotion strategies for multiple releases.
