Ema Jean - Room for Fascination (2019)

Ema Jean’s myriad influences are vast - from Elis Regina to Weather Report to PJ Harvey. Although aesthetically rooted in jazz and folk, and infused with Mediterranean and Brazilian flavors, her music is hard to categorize - she has developed a distinguished style of which her forthcoming record, Room For Fascination, is a testament. Recorded in Montreal and Barcelona, with highly esteemed musicians from around the world, the album is due out November 13th, 2019.

Ema is an acclaimed singer-songwriter from Montreal, QC. Raised by two musicians, she discovered how to transmute her emotional experience into song from an early age and began performing in and around Montreal shortly after, solo and with her band. In 2015, she released an album called Solace. Shortly thereafter, she enrolled at the University of North Texas, where she was offered a scholarship to study jazz voice. She later transferred to the Liceo Conservatory in Barcelona, where she studied briefly before opting to carve her own path, working as a freelance musician in Spain and Morocco for several years - all the while conceptualizing and writing for her own project, which has come to fruition this year. Ema is also a writer, dancer and visual artist.
