Meet EMMA HEWSON
Emma Louise Hewson is a Toronto-based singer/pianist/songwriter, who has made herself known as a versatile session musician, teacher, and original artist.
Emma’s background in music developed from a foundation of 12 years of classical piano, before pursuing a music degree at York University in Toronto in 2008. There, she experimented with jazz and free improvisation.
​
Outside of formal education, Emma was also honing her unique style of original music, playing intricate, jazzy piano grooves while singing with a heavy R&B influence. Her first EP, EMMA, was released in 2014 (http://emmalouisehewson.bandcamp.com/).
Currently, Emma is a teacher, freelance musician, and is part of several performing projects. These currently include North of Daptone (A 9-piece Sharon Jones tribute act), the Doxy duo (a jazz, pop, and Rnb duo suitable for corporate and private events), and the Backtrack band (a wedding/corporate band led by Marty Zatzman). She’s previously performed in the Julia Tynes band, Shrinehouse (an Amy Winehouse Tribute), Vallens, Ellevator, and more.
​
Emma also plays solo around town, often at La Rev restaurant in the Junction as part of an ongoing residency, and occasionally performing all original music with a larger band as well.
