Emma Smith's star is on the rise. With diverse and extensive experience, performing on all kinds of stages, from the O2 Arena to major Jazz clubs in New York City, collaborating with "pop" figures such as Michael Bublé, Robbie Williams or Georgie Fame, and Jazz musicians such as Jeremy Pelt or Wayne Escoffery, Emma Smith has built a formidable reputation as a powerful and expressive artist in the UK jazz scene.
A member of the vocal harmony group The Puppini Sisters and the All Stars of the historic Ronnie Scott's, Emma has won the Rising Star Award (London Music Awards) and the Worshipful Company of Musicians, Young Jazz Musician of the Year award; a finalist in the Montreux Jazz Voice Competition and nominated in the Jazz Vocalist of the Year category at the Parliamentary Jazz Awards.
