Would you like to be featured?

We are proud to announce this week's featured vocalist:

Emiko

A rare breed of rock n’roll of the biggest kind and sensitive, introspective songwriter, Emiko breaks new ground as a female frontperson, who not only sings, but plays a lead instrument, takes her own solos, and is unafraid to say what others only dare to think. After rising to #1 on the Overplay UK Pop/Rock charts and staying there for a record setting 17 weeks, Emiko was nominated for a 2004 Brit Award in the Unsigned Rock category. Here in the US, she was voted Best New York City Rock Band of 2002-2003 by RadioCrystalBlue and nominated for the New Century Music Award, Best Female Rock Performer of 2002. Emiko is a three time veteran performer in the Songwriters' Hall of Fame showcases was featured on their “Best of the Songwriters Hall of Fame New Writers Showcase” CD compilation (Volume 1)in April 2003. She appeared in Billboard Magazine, and was named New Century Productions # 7 artist of 2002 overall after reigning as the Number 1 artist of November 2002.

MTV has said that Emiko is" incredible live!!!! She totally sucks you in!" Her latest release, "Here Lies Tinkerbell" (OA Entertainment) features Emiko's most seductive and inviting songs. Whether she is wailing on the B3 organ, funkin’ it up on the clav, taking a Wurly solo, or getting back to her classical roots, Emiko always manages to weave her music together with intense, bold lyrics. In her songs, she shares her feelings about love, heartbreak, frustration, and fear in ways that make her listeners not only move and groove to the music, but also react and relate on a much deeper emotional level.

To fully appreciate how Emiko’s music has evolved, one should know she was considered a child prodigy playing by 2 1/2, Emiko was performing classically in front of major audiences by age 6 and composing "mini-masterpieces" by age 7. After spending most of her childhood in conservatory in Washington, DC, Emiko discovered rock music and started conjuring up a secret operation to retire from the classical stage and pursue her dreams of rock n' roll and world domination.

Currently making her home in New York City with her band, The GeminiStation Project, Emiko can be found as the artist in residence at the new Rockwood Music Hall, likely her last stop before she hits the stratosphere, because as she says, “If there’s life on Mar’s they’ll buy my record!”
