Emilia Mårtensson
Emilia Mårtensson is a London based Swedish/Slovenian vocalist and composer of considerable repute. Since graduating from Trinity Laban, (London), Emilia has built a well-deserved reputation as one of the most exciting vocalists on the UK Jazz scene and she was awarded 'VOCALIST OF THE YEAR-2016' at the Parliamentary Jazz Awards.
Her gently expressive voice and highly personal compositions are firmly rooted within the folklore and countryside of her native southern Sweden, adding to the mystique and allure of a distinctive and truly original artist.
She has toured the world extensively and performed at Rochester Jazz Festival In New York, Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London, Ljubljana Jazz Festival in Slovenia, Umea Jazz Festival In Sweden, London Jazz Festival, Vossa Jazz festival in Norway to name just a few.
Her critically acclaimed contributions (both as vocalist and lyricist) to Kairos 4Tet no doubt helped them bring home a 2011 MOBO Award, while her distinctive voice led The Observer to deem her ‘The New Face of British Jazz 2012′. Emilia har released four albums so far and her big band album featuring The RTV Slovenia Big band is due out later this year
-"There's a brilliantly judged and utterly natural-sounding balance between duskiness and pure-toned clarity in her voice, but what really impresses is a talent for story-telling within the context of her songs and for drawing the listener in". -JazzUK
...."A voice of quite remarkable expressive depth" -JAZZWISE
…” Martensson invests every sound with a skimming, rapturous lightness and clarity”… JF, The Guardian
