Meet EMMA HEWSON 

Emma Louise Hewson is a Toronto-based singer/pianist/songwriter, who has made herself known as a versatile session musician, teacher, and original artist.

Emma’s background in music developed from a foundation of 12 years of classical piano, before pursuing a music degree at York University in Toronto in 2008. There, she experimented with jazz and free improvisation.

Outside of formal education, Emma was also honing her unique style of original music,  playing intricate, jazzy piano grooves while singing with a heavy R&B influence. Her first EP, EMMA, was released in 2014 (http://emmalouisehewson.bandcamp.com/).
