Emika is a British-German artist with Czech roots, one of the most electrifying figures on the contemporary music scene. She creates electronic and neoclassical music, blending her skills as a sound designer, composer, and vocalist. From a young age, she studied piano and composition, and her classical training brings a fresh perspective to electronic music. Emika captivated audiences with her unique take on dubstep, combining elements of ambient, trip-hop, and experimental electronics with classical influences. Her dark sounds and evocative vocals caused quite a stir. She released two albums on the iconic Ninja Tune label, both filled with dark, hypnotic melodies that received enthusiastic reviews worldwide. The track “Transcended Before Me” features Massive Attack’s vocalist, Horace Andy. Critics praise Emika not only for her rich basslines in tracks like “Double Edge” and “3 Hours” or the dreamy atmosphere of “Sleep With My Enemies,” but also for being the sole author of her music, lyrics, and electronic arrangements. In 2014, Emika founded her own label, Emika Records. She currently lives and works in Germany.
