The Jaywalkers

Singer/songwriter Emma Moore was raised in the golden age of female country music.

The 90's may have been cruel to the fashion forward, but the airwaves were full of strong, game changing artists like Shania Twain and The Dixie Chicks, and luckily Moore took note. Though it may have been over a decade later that she started writing, those early influences can still be heard.

​The now London based northerner released her debut album 'Pilot' in 2016, a project praised for it's lyrical content, emotional drive and "exceptional vocals". Recorded at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool with producer Justin Johnson, the album features 8 self-penned tracks alongside a co-write with Liv Austen and Amy Westney and Gareth Thomas' 'Why Don't We Lie.'

The ballad heavy album was followed by a change in tempo in 2017 with June release 'Trouble', the frank and fun story about falling for the wrong guy, and Septembers 'Southern Belle' - the tongue in cheek take on girls who fake their way through life. Both tracks became instant fan favourites, and furthered Moore's reputation as Artist with plenty to say.

​If a way to cement that reputation was Moore's goal for 2018, 'Good Girl' was the perfect release. The edgier track is an anthem for those daring to break the rules and embrace the fun in living a little closer to lifes edge. The single has had weekly play on BBC Introducing since it's debut, lead to Emma and her band being invited to perform at the inaugural Long Road Festival on Bob Harris' BBC Introducing stage, and won a place at ICMP's industry showcase at the 02 Academy Islington.

Recently endorsed by Faith Guitars and Intuneative (Chester), and with a coveted place on The ICMP Songwriting MA programme it's going to be an exciting year for Moore and her team.
