EmmaMaking her first recording at 2yrs old Emma hasn’t stopped singing since and has enjoyed performing for over 18 years in bands, choirs, musicals, public and at private functions. Emma has been performing and working with David Feehan since 1997 when she was invited to join the David Feehan band, performing at the Tauranga Jazz Festival and Martinborough Wine and Food Festival for a number of years.

Emma performed at the 91ZM Carols by Candlelight in 2000, 2001, 2002 in Wellington and Whangarei. In 2000, Emma performed at the Coca Cola Christmas in the Park which was televised nationwide. Emma was also a founding member of the trio ‘Disco Divas’. The group performed together for 9 years at corporate and private functions throughout New Zealand.

She now also sings with the Balkanistas, a Wellington based Balkan big band and counts preforming at WOMAD (2014) and WOW (2014) as highlights, and finds time to sing backing vocals with the Julie Lamb band. When not performing Emma is coaching vocals privately, and at Whitireia Polytechnic.
