Emma Nadine Stevens is your real name?
YUP!
Where did grow up?
Guildford
What were your dreams of future when you were a kid?
Always wanted to be involved with music, performing and the arts, just dreamt I'd be happy really!
When your passion for music started?
I was about 2! Always trying to make noises out of things!
How did you figure out you can sing and do you remember the first song ever sung?
I still to this day have to convince myself I can sing! Hehe, silly really. I come from a very musical playing background and for me, my voice is just a way of expressing lyrics, ideas, melodies and feelings. I think everyone can sing!
Music had to be a big part of your family life, who else in your family plays music?
My Mum played nylon string guitar, which is what got me started in the first place
How do you write your songs? Lyrics or music first?
Bit of both - a title idea, a melody idea, sometimes even just a chord sequence.
Who or what inspire you?
Lots of things, people, music, art, friends, the ocean, the elements, happiness, sadness, soul searching… Lots!
How would you define your music?
surf pop folk … So… Spolk?!
Your album Enchanted is a success. We saw you in all rankings (itunes, BBC ... etc). Did you feel when you were writing that album that it would end up being so well received by fans and critics alike?
I had no idea! Just wanted to deliver an honest and good album where people could tell I had worked hard on it.
You are very present with your fans on social networks, it is a desire to want to stay close to people?
It is a desire to show my gratitude for their support, and a desire to break the barrier between artists and fans. We are all just human beings at the end of the day with music in common. It's great to become friends.
Will you be going back into the studio soon?
I'm currently in studio working on album 2!!
