Emma Lawrence

Emma Lawrence, has been writing music since she was 15 and is fast establishing herself as a popular singer/songwriter producing music that displays a maturity well beyond her years. She refers to her music as an acoustic fusion of folk and R&B which has its own distinct style and is very much of the time. National runner up in the recent Open Mic UK Original Songwriting Competition, her first single went straight into the Top 40 iTunes Singer/songwriter charts at 34. Influenced by artist such as Ed Sheeran, Ben Howard, and Emilie Sande, her songs reflect the challenges of life faced by young people today and appeals to audiences of all ages. A recent review stated: “Her guitar playing was simple and effective and a good base for her powerful, warm and folky voice to sit on. Her vibrato was quick and easily punctured the audience ambiance. An exciting performer.” She has been performing around the South for the past 2 years at various music venues and festivals including Glastonbury, Basingstoke Live!, Warminster Punchbowl Festival, Newbury Real Ale Festival and Hampshire Octoberfest.
