As a girl growing up on Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory, Emily loved hearing her uncles sing at community gatherings. But she also realised that women from her community rarely sang in public, and this spurred her on to create and share her own songs. A gifted musician who plays guitar, keyboard and ukulele and performs her own songs both in English and Annandilyakwa languages, Emily was recently awarded as an AMP Tomorrow Maker. She is currently recording her debut CD with Wantok Musik, producer by David Bridie for release in February 2016.
“I want to not only share my culture with Australia, but also inspire and empower members of my own community, especially young Indigenous women, to find their voice.”
