Girl aloud! Introducing Emma Deigman.

2009 has already been a big year for 20 year old Emma Deigman. From finishing her debut album to confirming support on this spring’s Girls Aloud tour, the London based singer’s stars are surely rising . Yet it could have been a different audience she was performing to this year after starting out as a childhood actress.

A West End theatre debut in Les Miserables and a movie role with Bob Hoskins and Michael Caine in “Last Orders” were steering her to a career on stage or screen. But an afternoon at Top Of The Pops with Jay Z performing on his breakthrough smash hit “Hard Knock Life” pointed more clearly to a future as a singer.

Years of writing and demo’s honed her big soulful vocal and brought her to the attention of the pop production moguls, behind the likes of Take That , Spice Girls and Lily Allen and a debut album soon followed..

Stuffed full of live horns and strings the album and debut single “It Was You” overwhelms with a big warm 70’s feel good sound that will be her calling card this year, setting her aside from the current crop of clipped electro pop acts.

Emma Deigman in a nutshell? Think Joss Stone meets Keira Knightly at a Rod Stewart gig… soulful, captivating and up for a big night out.
