Emma's Mum always said that she was singing from birth...... and she hasn't stopped!! At a young age Emma would use her hair brush, stand in front of the mirror and would sing at the top of her voice to her idol, Whitney Houston Emma soon recognised her love and passion for music and decided to share her gift when singing in choirs and becoming a Vocal Coach and Session singer. Emma has been a session singer and vocal coach for many years and has been blessed to sing backing vocals for some of the industries greatest artists Idris Elba (Actor), Joss Stone (Pop), Mary Wilson (The Supreme - Motown), Winston Reedy (Reggae), Carol Thompson (Lovers Rock), Susan Boyle (X Factor Winner) Donna Marie (Reggae) Papa San (Gospel Reggae/Dancehall), Twinkie Clarke (Gospel), Marvia Providence (Gospel Reggae) to name a few, as well as performing at The Isle of Wight Festival, Children In Need and the MOBO awards, Italy Tour and running vocal workshops in UK and Europe One of Emma’s highlights in her musical career was singing with the first every UK Gospel choir, ever to perform on Britain’s Got Talent 2013, making it to the Semi finals. Emma knows how to engage with a crowd and always leave them wanting more. Having completed tours in the North and South of Italy, as well bookings throughout Europe and the UK. In the words of Maya Angelou “A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song”

Just Whitney and Soul Singer UK's Reviews

Working with Emma O'Connor on vocals was amazing, she was efficient and spot on

We had the honor, the pleasure and the opportunity to be able to work on a winter tour with Emma, a wonderful person with a great professionalism, she immediately became familiar with the band and the whole company, always making herself available at every step even in the most difficult moments, and believe me in a gospel tour in December with rainy snow and adverse weather making 48 concerts in just 30 days requires dedication, commitment and professionalism that not everyone has. Emma yes. An artist with an unparalleled talent. With the hope of being able to collaborate again we wish her the best successes!
