The 26-year-old musician is the daughter of former ‘Coronation Road’ actress Kym Marsh – who shot to fame herself as a member of 2000s pop band Hear’Say – and her former companion Dave Cunliffe however has insisted that she has “labored actually onerous” to launch her personal profession in singing and needs the naysayers to listen to her sing earlier than they choose.
She advised The Sunday Specific S Journal: “Some individuals are solely going to say I am within the place I am in due to who my mum is. They’re going to have their opinions and I can not change that however I might inform them to return hear me sing or watch me carry out earlier than they make up their minds. If I could not sing or act and simply needed to be well-known, then truthful sufficient however I can do these issues. Typically, these abilities are in your genes – my mum is a tremendous performer – however i’m my very own particular person. I’ve labored actually onerous to get the place I’m. That is one of many issues I’ve realized from my mum – nothing comes straightforward. It’s important to regularly work onerous.”
Emilie – who has four-year-old son Teddy with fiance Mikey Hoszowskyj – went on so as to add that whereas she had “taken a break” from music to have a child, it was Kym who inspired her to get again to work and launched her to a handful of producers, which led to her recording her debut album ‘Tales’ in Tennessee.

Straightaway they mentioned, ‘We have to do that’. And I assumed, if I don’t do it now, when will I? I assumed, even when it doesn’t get me wherever, at the least I’ll know that I attempted. Quick-forward, they flew me over to Nashville to file my music and it’s been all go ever since. With it having been recorded in Nashville, everybody all the time thinks it’ll
be nation music, however it’s not. There are some songs that do have that nostalgic nation sound in them, however I’d undoubtedly say my music is a mix of some genres.
“It’s soulful, it’s bluesy, a little bit bit like Norah Jones, but in addition utterly totally different to the rest that’s on the market. A few songs have a little bit of a Muscle Shoals vibe [the famous Alabama recording studio]. There’s one thing on the album for everybody, irrespective of your style.”
