He is often compared to David Gray and inspired by Bon Iver and John Martyn: meet Ben Howard.
He is the kind of singer songwriter who prefers to travel from country to country just to share his folk songs with the audience. The world is at his feet after sold out clubshows during his tour in Europe and succesful concerts at famous festivals such as Eurosonic/Noorderslag, Off_Corso and even Lowlands.
Emmy The Great
Written and recorded under very different circumstances to her first, Virtue began as a series of stories Emmy embarked on after her engagement to an atheist, but took on a very different shape when he left her for the church.
Using symbols borrowed from fairy tales and mythology, Emmy added the icons that have replaced them in our modern consciousness – industrial buildings, mushroom clouds, West London’s Trellick Tower. This was Emmy’s personal collection of myths that she fitted to her music – a genre she refers to as digital medieval. She’d noticed that women only make it through the woods in big myths if they keep their virtue and she felt lost in the woods twice while writing the album, first when she got engaged, the second time when the stitches came apart.
