Emma-Jean Thackray's Walrus
ESNS:
2019
Repped by Gilles Peterson, RBMA, and Sounds of The Universe, rising mega-talent Emma-Jean Thackray wears many musical hats. As a composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, singer, bandleader and DJ, she is just as at home working with the London Symphony Orchestra as she is hosting her show on Worldwide FM or tearing it up on trumpet with her quartet. 2018 solo release Ley Lines maintains Emma-Jean’s trajectory as one of the most talented young musicians, someone who effortlessly blends in jazz, electronics, Afrohouse, psych, experimental beats and improvisation.
