Emma-Jane Thommen - Listen to "This City"

Emma-Jane Thommen: Born in North London, raised in Edinburgh, with parents fromYorkshire & Swiss ancestry, Emma-Jane began playing piano aged sixafter becoming bored of the wait during her older sister's pianolessons, and so decided to join in... the love of music was born...

The early years were spent learning several instruments and itbecame apparent she had a natural ability to play by ear - much to thefrustration of her music teachers who wanted her to read music in avery methodical manner.

Musical influences growing up included an eclectic mix of stylesfrom the country sounds of Johnny Cash to the rock and pop sounds ofQueen, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, and The Beatles, along with fellowsinger-songwriters Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman, Carol King, SherylCrow, Carly Simon and Tori Amos to name a few.

Emma-Jane began songwriting in her teens and formed a band inEdinburgh where they garnered impressive reviews such as "Polished,quick to impress" and "A singer-songwriter with presence as well aspotential" for the first gig they ever played together. The resoundingsuccess of this led to further gigs around Edinburgh, each gaininglarger audiences and a wider fan base.

Now based in London where she has been a regular at respected venuessuch as The Bedford, The Cobden Club and Ginglik along with numerouspiano bars. Emma-Jane now performs most nights either solo or with herband, travelling as far afield as Egypt, Switzerland, Germany, AustinTexas - at the South By South West Music Festival - and more recentlyLos Angeles. Her self-titled debut album has also been gaining radioairplay on Onda Cera Radio station in Spain.

Having had some great opportunities to write and record with suchtalents as Steve Balsamo, The Storys, Jamie Hartman of Ben's Brother,Henry Priestman of The Christians, Cliff Jones of the band Gay Dad, Ben"Jammin" Robbins, Tom Rothrock, Mick Lister, Gil Cang, and morerecently attended Chris Difford's writing week in Italy - Emma-Janecontinues to write and perform regularly and a second album is in themaking... watch this space!
