At first glance, Emily, who is only ten years old, behaves like a normal teen. However, when Emily enters a stage, she becomes a bundle of energy. It's unbelievable what kind of charisma the young talented hamburger has!
In the past two years Emily has had a remarkable career that some “old hands” in the music business can only dream of:
In spring she recorded her first album together with the successful producers Michael Rick and Arn Schlürmann (who once produced “Blümchen”): “Emily's Welt” (release date: 02.03.). The first single release “Nano vom Planten X” landed in the top 20 straight away and stayed in the charts for over 10 weeks. Cooperations with Nick and Super RTL, let Emily quickly become a child star. Everyone has talked about Emily for a long time. Numerous Internet collaborations ensure that the video for "Nano from Planet X" suddenly spreads on the Internet. TV appearances on Sat1, KiKA, Nick and RTL not only delight their actual target group.
Since Emily doesn't want to rest on her laurels, she now enchants us with her second single: "Simsalabim." For this, Emily came up with something very special: In addition to the radio and karaoke mix, she also recorded "Simsalabim" as a groovy punk-rock mix. On May 25th the time has come - then the new single will appear and we will experience another adventure from "Emily's World" with "Simsalabim".
"Is she cute!" Please? Watch out - behind this mischievous smile is a powerful girl who is fist-thick behind the ears! At just 10 years old, Emily is bursting with energy, and whoever gets to know her quickly realizes that you cannot resist the cheeky charm of this young lady.
Born in Hamburg in 1996, after four years at primary school, she now attends the fifth grade of a high school in Hamburg - Blankenese. Now it's getting serious for Emily, because in addition to the drumming for school, she has always preferred to concentrate on her big hobby music.
Emily's passion is singing - to the delight of her parents, who noticed her daughter's creative streak and enabled her to take music lessons very early on. A music teacher soon recognized Emily's talents there, and so she took part in numerous acting and singing performances during primary school. In addition to singing, Emily also enjoys dancing and, as a member of SV Wedel Rist's successful cheerleader group, she makes her first big stage experiences at regular appearances.
And now you can be excited because in spring 2007 EMILY's debut CD will be released by ARIOLA! The pretty 10-year-old recorded her first album as a solo artist at Little Bear Studios in Hamburg. She convinces with happy pop songs and cheeky rock songs as well as with calming tones with a very nice ballad about her best friend. With the combination of her clear, expressive voice, her smart nature and her extraordinary charisma, Emily will surely win over many fans!
Emilys Welt album
The following information has been taken and translated from Emily's label's Website (www.ariola.de), coinciding with the album's release in 2007. Please note that the original text was in German, so the translation by Google might not be 100% accurate.
On March 2nd the time has come - EMILY, Ariola's youngest star, finally shows us her world!
The debut album "Emilys Welt" (Emily's World) by the only 10-year-old student from Hamburg convinces with EMILY's [beautifully] clear voice and catchy melodies as well as with a colorful mix of music and funny lyrics. Already the first release from the album, the hit single "NANO" (released on January 26th) is climbing straight up in the charts and is the first track on the CD and the prelude to 13 other [very] good songs.
First you can get into EMILY's fantasy car full of excitement and embark on a great “trip around the world” (Reise um die Welt). Later she tells in "Astronauts" (Astronauten) that she can fly much further - to the moon. With the magic formula, "Simsalabim" EMILY bewitches anyone who comes up with the idea of annoying her. And the latest, "Were I Queen" (Wär ich Königin) it is clear what and whom the young lady will conquer as a rock queen. And she can also celebrate - at "Carnival" you just have to dance along, pure party atmosphere! With the title "Ballerina" (Kleine Ballerina) EMILY becomes a little more serious and tells about the importance of living your dreams. She becomes oriental and mysterious with "Open Sesame" (Sesam öffne Dich). At the end of the album EMILY surprises with a lot of feeling and a wonderful ballad, in which she describes the special relationship with her "best friend" (Beste Freundin).
Each song tells a little story and gives all old and new EMILY fans an insight into their very personal world, (fantasy) experiences, feelings and dreams. Of course, the texts are always winking and the typical cheeky undertone of EMILY.
The successful producers Michael Rick and Arn Schlürmann have succeeded with "EMILYs Welt", an album full of cheerful, thrilling up-tempo numbers and you can clearly hear how much fun EMILY had when recording in the studio. Who can expect to finally see exceptional talent EMILY with her natural charisma and mischievous smile on her face live on stage?
