‘The female Bon Iver’ – Clash Magazine; ‘EMMY THE GREAT is who folk music has been praying for’ – Evening Standard; ‘One of the boldest young writers’ – The Guardian. Collaborations with Fatboy Slim, Kate Nash, Dev Hynes, Ash, Gabriel Bruce and Noah & the Whale confirm Emma-Lee Moss as a major artist of our times.

Hong Kong-born to an English father and a Chinese mother, Emma-Lee Moss as Emmy the Great has released two solo records to international acclaim showcasing an elegant lyricism and sensitivity married to humour and inquisitiveness. Her voice is by turns smoky and radiant.

Debut album, First Love was hailed “Album of the Week” – Sunday Times Culture and made the “Album of the Year 2009” list in the New York Times.

The follow up, Virtue, in 2011, once again made all the ‘best of’ lists, and Emma also wrote the original songs for Austenland, and the upcoming Wanderers.

In 2013 she performed at the largest Chinese New Year celebrations outside Asia, in London’s Trafalgar Square, singing in English, Cantonese and Mandarin to an estimated TV audience of 600 million people. She also performed a bilingual song (Cantonese and English) live on BBC radio.

For charity, she has been an ambassador for Wateraid, Strummerville and Billy Bragg’s prison based music charity.

Lovely show for York with a truly international performer destined for even bigger things. Recommended!
