After completing a Bachelor of Contemporary Music in the deep south Emerald came up in the Golden Bay summer festival circuit with her solo alt-hip hop set, and released a collaborative EP 'Solar' with reggae artist Justice Peace in 2105. After relocating to Melbourne shortly after she quickly became an active member of the hip hop scene, gigging regularly and founding 'Emerald Hip Hop Sessions', community events to showcase local talent within her network which gained momentum, allowing her to work national and international acts. 2015 also saw the formation of her female fronted Hip Hop group 'Indigo Rising' as well as a month long tour of Canada and America as guest emcee for Trip Hop group The Wednesday Experiment. 2016 saw a return to NZ -this time to tour the coast with all 5 members of Indigo Rising,

Brisbane's songwriting duo Emerald have emerged once again, a couple of years after the release of their debut E.P. with a sleeker, ultra unique and undeniably engaging sound. After two years of intense song writing, numerous cups of tea, creative brainstorming and various musical ideas brewed in the woodwork, they have finally churned out their very first album... which is...in a nutshell, well worth the wait. There is no doubt their sound has matured and morphed beautifully into a strong, present, musical force to be reckoned with. Shiny, sparkly colourful sounds blend with broody vocals and first class production to fulfil everyone’s anticipation, not to mention satisfy the newbie’s on the scene. The songs take you on a trip to a world of quirky, imaginative Emerald goodness. The vocals are honest and classy and the musicianship clearly prominent in every song.
