Emma Pask

Award winning vocalist Emma Pask has firmly established herself as one of Australia’s favourite voices in Jazz. Her effortless, honest stage presence, combined with her powerful vocal ability, leaves audiences spellbound and inspired whenever she takes to the stage.

While Emma’s voice and style are unique, and individually her own, her performances are reminiscent of the classic era of jazz, when swing was top of the charts. Her talent was first spotted by internationally renowned Jazz great James Morrison, when she was just 16 years old. She joined his band as the lead vocalist at 16, and went on to spent a solid 20 years touring the world with Morrison.

Emma has had the honour to sing for VIP audiences including the late Diana Princess of Wales and Princess Mary of Denmark, she opened for Grammy Award winning American vocalist Kurt Elling on his 2018 Australian Tour, and in January 2019, The Emma Pask band headlined at the Havana Jazz Festival in Cuba.

Emma has toured her band throughout Europe, Asia and Australia. She has sung in London at The Queen Elizabeth Hall with the BBC Concert Orchestra, the Sydney Opera House with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Performed in China with The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, Auckland with the NZ Philharmonic, and with the WA Symphony Orchestra in Perth. She has received rave reviews for her performances in Uruguay, South America, and is a regular at the prestigious Ascona Jazz Festival in Switzerland. 

Despite her achievements and the international recognition of her talent, Emma retains her natural, refreshing, and unpretentious, positive approach to life. Jazz virtuoso James Morrison says of Emma, “Whilst it’s fashionable to be a jazz singer these days, she is the real thing!”
