Life has been something of a whirlwind for the down to earth surfer chick from Guildford, since embarking on a solo career in 2012 and bursting onto the scene with her distinctively catchy pop melodies, fused with folk instrumentation and a touch of country. The increasing popularity of this uniquely versatile “what you see is what you get” artist is now undeniable, thanks to over three million Spotify plays, and over a million video views on the back of seven EP and three album releases, with four consecutive singles playlisted by BBC Radio 2.
After 4 radio 2 playlists, an iTunes single of the week, and over 40 synchs on TV in the UK, Emma’s profile then exploded in China following her track, A Place Called You being featured on a prime-time TV show watched by over 75 million viewers (the track has since amassed over 500 million streams and Emma tour the country in 2019). Emma has had millions of streams on Spotify and YouTube, and her new album’s much anticipated release “Bloom” is set for release with a headline UK Tour in April 2024.
Emma Steven’s voice is emotive, clear, effortless and uplifting. She has toured seven times (including three headline tours), performed at numerous festivals including Hyde Park, CarFest and Country2Country, and supported Simply Red, Wet Wet Wet, The Feeling, Passenger, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Train.
Acoustic pop singer songwriter Anouska Assisi encapsulates a broad range of musical genres into a unique sound. Anouska Assisi’s songs have catchy hooks along with thoughtful and considered lyrics, making music something people can really relate to. Taking inspirations from pop Idols Ed Sheeran and KT Tunstall, Anouska Assisi uses a loop station to build original music live, in front of audiences all around the UK; transforming songs from a single strum on the guitar to a full blown production in minutes using just her voice, guitar and Pedals.
