Featured Vocalist of the Week

Would
you like to be featured?
We are proud to
announce this week's featured vocalist:
Emiko

A rare breed of rock nroll 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 Emikos 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
theres life on Mars theyll buy my record!
Listen
to her here! Enjoy!
