Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
She’s a trumpeter and a beat-maker. She’s a band-leader and a DJ, who’d throw Mighty Boosh and Fast Show samples about jazz into her solo live sets. Emma-Jean Thackray makes music that draws as much from Miles Davis as it does from Madlib, combining beautiful harmonies, intricate percussion and a seriously solid low end. The Yorkshire-born adopted south Londoner independently-released her first EP ‘Walrus’ in 2016, was nominated for Jazz Album Of The Year in 2018 and released a 12” on Chicago label International Anthem. This Spring, she launched a label, Movementt, with Warp Records. The first EP ‘Rain Dance’ includes live sessions from her band alongside productions that use their improvised jams, reworked in the studio to create music with a tonne of forward motion as well as a touch of calming ASMR tingly sounds. “Everything I do is heavily focused on improvisation” she says. “Why? Because that’s the pure shit.”
