The Voice UK 2022:

'They sound so lovely together. They complimented one another...' - Sir Tom Jones

Every harmony was perfect... Damn that was awesome! - will.i.am

'You deserved that standing ovation from everyone, it was amazing' - Olly Murs

'That was so beautiful... That is probably my favourite classical singers I've heard' - Anne-Marie

At Operasonic in Newport, we brought Emilie in to work with a small group of our early career musicians.

It was a mixed group with some who have done lots of vocal training and some who had done

general music but not a lot of singing. Emilie was absolutely BRILLIANT with each and every person.

She also took a LOT of time before the workshop to prepare and ensure she was ready to work with our group. She has such a warm and caring nature- and is so inclusive and supportive.

Singing in front of other people can be a very vulnerable place, especially at the start of your career,

and Emilie made this experience just... well, JOYFUL!

We can't wait to bring her back and ask her to work with more of our early career professionals.


- Beth House, Executive Producer, Opera Sonic

"Emilie performed at our wedding ceremony.

She is a first-class professional, with dexterity, grace and in true style she wowed our guests, many of whom commented on how moving and high calibre she was. We were especially grateful for a tailored ceremony, where both herself and her Pianist Thomas went above and beyond our expectations.

This made the experience highly personal and we will be forever grateful. Do not hesitate to book, it will be the best investment you make at any event! Thank you both, Chloe & Jamie"

"It was a pleasure to share the concert platform with Emilie for our concert at the Cornerstone in Cardiff. Her programme enthralled the audience and choir alike. What versatility and poise she has in performance. Emilie captivated the audience with singing of such character and charm and all executed with the most impressive vocal technique. We look forward to working with Emilie again in the future." 

David Leggett - Musical Director of The Cardiff Ardwyn Singers


"Emilie has been working as a singing teacher for Charlotte May Academy since May 2022. She immediately made all the children feel extremely comfortable and I’ve already seen a huge improvement in their technical ability as well as their confidence.

Emilie’s work ethic and approach to teaching is second to none and is now a valued member of our team.

I can’t recommend her highly enough."

Charlotte Davies - Principal of Charlotte May Academy

“We first came across Emilie in 2018. She gave a stunning performance which “wowed” the audience. I spoke with her afterwards about singing at our event in 2019. There she performed about ten songs - a selection of Operatic pieces and songs from Musicals. She introduced each song with historical background to each piece, highlighting her extensive knowledge of both Opera and Musical Theatre. I had tremendous positive feedback following her performance and we invited her back to again in 2020 where she was again magnificent. We’ve kept in touch with Emilie and have asked her to sing at our wedding next year. In addition to having a beautiful voice, Emilie is kind, modest and down to Earth.”

Hedley Thomas  - September 2022

"Emilie sang some Puccini in the ballroom on our opening night. She has a beautiful voice and everyone was very moved. I am quite certain it is only a matter of time before she appears at the Royal Opera House.”

David Lonsdale, Chairman - Sekforde Trust

“Talk of the Day !!!! Emilie sang during the signing of the register at our wedding on the 25th of January 2020; with over 100 guests Emilie brought the 13th century church to a standstill.With what can only be described as a jaw-dropping performance my Mayoral Chaplin has never seen a standing ovation given by a wedding congregation in over 50 years of officiating at weddings.”

Mr William Routley, Mayor of Newport
