Emilia Quinn has been described as a firecracker, weaving together a combination of roots music genres, such as blues, rock and country, whilst bringing her own unique tone to the table. Having grown up with a wide variety of music genres, she takes inspiration from anywhere and everywhere. She kicked her performance career off as a Singer-Songwriter at age 11 and swiftly joined a Rock band.

After returning briefly to her Singer-Songwriter career she formed a Blues Rock band and found her feet in Roots music. She then broke away and went solo, following her own path and creating music close to her heart. She debuted in the UK Country music scene with her 3-track EP ‘Wrote Off’, recorded in London the record is a trio of acoustic songs, built with percussion and layers of harmonies, all performed by Emilia herself. This was well received by the scene with some wonderful reviews rolling in."All three [EP] tracks use gentle guitar under the voice with great percussion providing the back beat to songs which all seem to say “here I am, this is me – take me as I am, or don’t take me at all” With a voice like this – we’ll take you exactly as you are Emilia" - ​Silver ball Country

Emilia’s journey then continued when she started finding her confidence and sass, writing more fiery and gritty tracks, introducing a full band sound to her next single release ‘Mistakes’.

Performing solo all the while, Emilia still drew in audiences with her stage presence using just an acoustic guitar, a stomp box and her voice. She found her bookings increasing and fan-base growing rapidly, not just in the Country scene but across several genres. Emilia also started building a fan-base internationally, particularly in the USA and Germany, proving that her music could break boundaries.

The next release came a few months after her single, and is her latest release to date. ‘Firecracker’ proved to be a strong EP entering the iTunes Country Album chart at number 8 and rising to number 3. It also entered the top 100 on the all genres iTunes chart. ‘Firecracker’ was mostly recorded and produced during lockdown, which is a testament to how well Emilia can overcome hurdles and adapt her work and career to new situations. Her strong work ethic produced a gritty, fiery and popular record, which was well received by both UK and International press.
