Emily’s self-styled Latin Mix places a London twist on upbeat samba and Baião tunes, combining spirited grooves, driving basslines, sultry ballads, with splashes of Drum & Bass, 60’s soul jazz and playful textures, that invokes sunshine and an invitation to dance. With over 9500 twitter followers, and an extremely active and focussed social media campaign – Emily heavily promotes bookings on Facebook, Twitter, and her mailout list.

ESB highlights exceptional musicians – trumpeter Nick Walters (Beats n Pieces / Riot Jazz), Chris Jerome, piano (Courtney Pine, Tom Jones, Mica Paris,), Paul Michael, bass (Julian Joseph and Liane Carroll), George Hart, drums (Swing Out Sister, Ivo Neame).
