Emma McGrath is an 18 year old singer-songwriter heralding from Harpenden, North London. Writing her own material since 2013 she self-released her first EP, The Judgement, in November 2014. This was followed up in December 2015 with the single ‘Sit With Me’, which caught the attention of key media including BBC Introducing who awarded it Track Of The Week twice and Radio 2 where it received plays from both Dermot O’Leary and Bob Harris. Topping off a great 2015, Emma was awarded The PRS Foundation’s Lynsey de Paul prize. The following 18 months saw Emma build up a close network of writers who helped to develop her craft and hone her sound.

Recorded with several highly qualified and exciting producers, including Grammy Award winner Jimmy Hogarth and Brit School alumni Jackson, the first single ‘Love You Better’ was self-released via AWAL on February 3rd. Added straight Spotify’s key New Music Friday US playlist ‘Love You Better’ has achieved well north of 1m plays is garnering the attention of the public and record industry alike.
