Emma Rawicz is a 20 year old saxophonist and composer. Growing up in rural North Devon, Emma didn't discover jazz until the age of 15 and didn't pick up a tenor saxophone until a year later but was immediately hooked and quickly decided she wanted to pursue music, and specifically jazz, as a career.
Now in London, and alongside studying Jazz at the Royal Academy of Music, she has recorded, released and toured her debut album ‘Incantation’, made up entirely of her original compositions. Emma’s second album, ‘Chroma’, recorded in summer 2022 features an all-star band of Ivo Neame, Ant Law, Conor Chaplin and Asaf Sirkis, will be released in 2023.
Emma is a natural performer and alongside a growing reputation as a band leader is also creating a name for herself as a sideman, regularly playing at major London jazz venues with a wide range of both upcoming and established musicians.
Emma has been described as "An astonishing new talent" (Jamie Cullum – 大象传媒 Radio 2), 'a force to be reckoned with' (Jazzwise) and 'a fast-rising star' (London Jazz News).
