Emma Wallace

I began writing my own music April of 2002 and began performing my own compositions outside the safety of my own home in June and have toured around central Florida monthly since then. In the middle of my central Florida tour, I visited California and back after cutting an EP with producer/sound engineer Dan Garcia (some of the results of which you can listen to on this page!). After playing everywhere from beachside coffee shops to the Florida Music Festival (where a reviewer described my gig as one of the "most impressive acts of the night"), I decided to try my hand at the West Coast and moved to Los Angeles in September 2004. I have since then moved back to Florida and gotten gigs at several cafes and look forward to having even more fun playing at different venues.

Read a review of my CD from The Orlando Weekly:



Orlando acoustic-jazz vocalist Emma Wallace has quite a sucker punch. She is equally perceptive and enthralling in the multiple genres she skips across on her album, A Reason to Stay Up All Night (available on iTunes). A Reason features the socially conscious redhead as a Tin Pan Alley plugger, a vaudevillian tease and a smoky Blue Note seductress. Wallace uses her exceptional storytelling ability as the setup for heart-wrenching couplets designed to disarm. For every amorous metaphor (“You’re like the first time Bonnie and Clyde held up a bank”), there lies a buried, yet personally revealing sting (“I’m ready to be the girl you take for granted”). Wallace extols the benefits of loving a hippie (“Baby, you’re more enlightened than most men can attain”) on “Part of Your Mudra,” but gently emasculates the same partner frightfully efficiently (“But in bed I don’t want a Buddha, I want a Genghis Khan”). From the lyrics to her joyfully unpredictable chord changes, Wallace keeps you on your toes, which seems to be just where she wants you – all the better to “saute your heart.”
