Emily Wright

I am a 20-year-old musician playing piano and electric violin, and my sound sits right at the intersection of where I started and where I landed. I grew up with classical training, which gave me the technical discipline for both instruments. But when I hit sixteen, I found jazz, and it completely rewired how I think about music. Sheet music stopped being the final destination and became a starting point. Armed with perfect pitch, I spend most of my time arranging, composing, and improvising. If you hear me play a cover, it is rarely a straight playback. I love turning things on their head, blending genres, and building harmonies on the fly. People always ask why I do this, and the answer is simple. Live music has the power to shift the energy of a room without anyone needing to say a word. Whether I am holding down the atmosphere for a Sunday lunch or stepping up with the electric violin, I live for that moment when the background noise fades and people actually start listening, or when a crowd catches a groove I just improvised out of nowhere. My main genres are jazz, musical theatre/film music and easy-listening classical, but I can be versatile depending on your needs! I also speak English, French, Spanish and British Sign Language fluently, so I am easy to communicate with even if English is not your main language!
