Emilia says: “Music has always been my whole life. I started singing and taking lessons myself at the age of 5 and I always knew I wanted to dedicate my life to singing. My dream was never to be simply a performer, but to explore the art of singing, with a strong focus on the voice and what it can express. I love working with singers from all backgrounds and levels and I enjoy navigating my way through peoples’ personal journeys, whatever their level, aim or direction may be.”
