Emma de Goede has been in the music industry, performing for over 15 years. She is a sought after professional vocalist, songwriter, performer, recording artist and singing teacher. Growing up, she had a diverse creative arts education, but her journey ultimately led her to graduate top of my class with a BMus degree in Jazz Performance at UCT’s South African College of Music, specialising in jazz voice. She has won multiple music competitions (national & international) throughout her music career and have performed at high profile events and prestigious venues including Kirstenbosch Gardens, the Baxter Theatre, Artscape Theatre Centre and Cape Town City Hall. Most recently, in her capacity as a jazz vocalist, she was a semi- finalist in the 6th Unisa International Voice Competition.

Emma is also one half of alternative-pop duo, Emerger, formed together with multi-instrumentalist/ producer partner, Gerrit Matthee. With the release of their self-produced and celebrated debut album ‘Bloom’ in 2018, their dreamy, synth- driven melodies, cinematic progressions, powerful vocals, and punchy beats have been making waves both nationally and overseas. Their single ‘Break & Fall’ was a winner of the Abbey Road Studios International song competition, picked from nearly 5000 entries and gave the duo the opportunity to attended sessions at Abbey Road Studios in London. Shortly after the release of ‘Bloom’ they were featured as Apple Music’s New Artist Spotlight and in Apple Music's 10 Albums You Must Hear This Month (July 2018). Their music was also featured on the BBC Introducing show in the UK.

Last night’s event for the first Mining Indaba After Hours cocktail party was a great success. The client was really happy with the choice of band. The music you played was so perfect for the style of the event.

I would like to say thank you for the excellent service and music you guys delivered on our wedding day. We regrettably could not listen to a large part of the set as we were up and about to take photos, but the part I could listen to (and dance to) and the feedback I got was amazing! It was unfortunately a bit cold during the set, but the music really lifted the party. Many thanks again. You created an amazing and memorable experience to ourselves and our guests.

Dan!!! You guys were INCREDIBLE!!! No one will stop raving to us about you 🙂 You made a special day so much more special and we’ll be forever grateful. The band was great, the sound was great, the whole vibe was just amazing. Did you guys manage to squeeze in a bit of a game drive before you left? We saw Romy off at the airstrip and then got a text of a photo from my best man with Ndumiso at the airport! Photographers said it might be up to 12 weeks to get all the pics back but once we have them we will send your way 🙂
