About eMMa JoLeen

Music – we’ve been together for such a long time, it seems the vows were taken in the womb as I danced my way to birth singing celebrate good times the perfect marriage of melody and me was born. It was not all fun and games as the Event Coordinator for ‘Em J and the Holograms’ covers group world tour ended abruptly with EmJ auditioning for the school choir and being rejected! Propaganda smothered the press with sensational stories of EmJ hiding out in the school gymnastics team until her reaching her teens when the local city opera company recruited her into the chorus. News of the talented singer skyrocketed around the universe ensuring an abundance of performance work for many years to come. The greatest challenge arose when EmJ was diagnosed with the greatest fear of all – the specialist doctor giving an ultimatum: surgery or complete vocal rest! Following a full year of what some have said was being a mute came a fully recovery! NOW Back on the scene with a brand new originals band and chart topping songs EmJ is ready to share the deeply personal journey that has brought her to where she is today. WHY? After asking for a sign to stay with it or not to stay with music EmJ received her sign in the form of a gun to her head in a near death experience which filled her with music and lyrics which have since won song writing accolades. EmJ now performs her original songs with the Emma Joleen Band and requires advanced bookings for keynote speaking worldwide.

Here’s a personal note from the writer herself: Why music? It is the global communicator, the unifying element that connects people across the world. My Inspiration is drawn from family and friends. Some of the greatest memories I have are as a kid playing the piano with my brother and pretending to be Madonna with my sister who taught me all about the eighties! Not to mention the greatest mother of all time who enjoyed waking us at 6am daily with her surprisingly in-tune rendition of “Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down” from Mary Poppins and accompanying herself on piano like Chopin. Dad played the piano accordion and sung gypsy tunes at the local folk club where we all joined in and imagined ourselves as the Von Trapp Family except Australian. Whether we were whistling, singing or dancing, music was ever present in my upbringing and really is the best medicine for life!

THE MUSIC: Emma Joleen is a visionary, passionately exploring the universe for golden sparks that eventually spill out into glorious revelations. Like a star studded sky, her songs speak to us all. Each involves a musical journey across curious bridges that leave you hanging on an edge. Drawn to music at an early age, Emma Joleen enjoyed classical piano and singing solo/chorus roles for Gregorian/Motet choirs, Musical Theatre shows and Opera Companies. What is her music? It is composed at dawn and performed at sunset. It is Caribbean rhythms, ancient folklore, Latin flavors, the Lost and Found column: it is Golden Eye, fused with Elektra.
