Dubbed “UK’s queen of jazz-fusion”, critically acclaimed vocalist, songwriter and producer, Emily Saunders takes any stage by storm, leading her exceptional band of stellar musicians through her spellbinding set of original songs.

Presenting her most powerful work to date Moon Shifts Oceans - her heady mix of future-jazz inspired melodic hooky basslines and riffs, edges of broken beat, and Brazilian-infused grooves - Emily seamlessly blends virtuosity and adventurous musicianship of the highest order, creating a unique fusion.

Her soaring, enchanting voice playfully dances over her infectious tunes and bold music-production, all with an irresistibly catchy pop sensibility that effortlessly weaves its way into the listener’s soul. Hailing from London, raised in Brixton, Emily’s music has hit Top 10 in international iTunes and Amazon charts in the UK, USA, Germany, France and Indonesia. Emily’s music is a lively and engaging mix of jazz, pop, jazz-fusion, nujazz, funk - full of ear-worms and memorable grooves and melodies.
