The award-winning British jazz singer Emma Smith is considered one of the most impressive voices on the international jazz scene. With her diverse stage experience—from the Royal Albert Hall to the world’s most renowned jazz clubs—she has collaborated with artists such as Michael Bublé, the Quincy Jones Orchestra, Jeff Goldblum, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and jazz greats such as Jeremy Pelt and Wayne Escoffery. In the process, Emma has earned a reputation as a powerful and expressive artist and built a loyal, steadily growing international fan base.
Last year, her international presence was significantly strengthened once again through extensive tours with her trio. She performed to sold-out venues in the U.S., Europe, and the United Kingdom. She regularly performs at legendary venues such as the Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, Birdland in New York, the Blue Note Milano, and the Duc des Lombards in Paris, where additional concerts are often scheduled due to high demand.
In addition to her solo career, she enjoyed great success as a member of The Puppini Sisters and served as a host on BBC Radio 3 for four years. Her latest album Bitter Orange, released on the U.S. label La Reserve—of which she is the first British artist—was enthusiastically received by critics and has been streamed millions of times. It combines modern emotional honesty with a sound deeply rooted in the traditions of bygone eras.
