For singers ready to lead with artistry.
I support singers in building a deep, honest relationship with their voice and creativity, nurturing confidence and self-trust — so you can find your own collaborations, lead your own artistic projects, and step into the world as the artist you’ve always felt yourself to be.
Pillars of Becoming
"Artistry and Self Expression"
"Artistic Leadership & Collaboration"
"Navigate Creative Resistance"
Redefine what it means to be an artist — and lead from who you are.
Build the confidence and musicianship to collaborate — and attract the right collaborators through how you show up.
Notice the armour you reach for — and choose expression over self-protection.
"Jazz as an Approach"
Create in the moment, practice deep listening, risk, and play — and learn to trust your intuition.
"Protecting Artistic Energy"
Supportive frameworks that nourish the inner artist and shape a life-aligned process.
"Community"
Grow alongside others through shared wins, challenges, and deep mutual support.
Words from Artists I'm working with
Testimonials
With Emilia’s guidance and what I often call our “music/artist therapy” sessions, I’ve learned how to move through creative blocks at a time when I seriously considered walking away from music altogether.
In just seven months of working with Emilia, I have grown tremendously as an artist. I am well on my way to achieving every goal we set at the beginning — and more importantly, I’ve rediscovered my confidence, resilience, and joy in making music.

HEY, I’m Emilia
I didn’t come to singing through big ambition.
Only through a love of music and a curiosity for the life it opened up.
I followed curiosity. I followed what felt natural.
Music slowly became a language, a community, and a way of life, and for a long time, making music felt like free play.
But somewhere along the way… it got noisy.
The music scene—especially in a place like London, where I ended up as a 20-year-old pursuing my career—can be full of creative energy and gorgeous opportunity, but also full of loud voices and opinions.
I started listening outward instead of inward. I compared. I tried to fit. I drifted from the part of me that first fell in love with life as an artist and musician.
Finding my way back has been a slow, tender process of shedding skin, asking better questions, and understanding what truly matters to me as a person, as a singer, and as an artist.
We always have the power to pause, realign, and redefine what being an artist means to us.
Today, I work with singers who want a deeper, kinder, more honest relationship with their voice and their creativity.
Together we build technique, confidence, and artistic identity — and just as importantly, self-trust and the ability to deeply follow our own intuition, so you can lead your own artistic projects with joy, clarity, and a strong inner artistic compass.
You don’t need fixing.
You don’t need to become someone else.
You get to become more you.
