Even those who are indifferent to the direction of trance music are interested in vocals and passionate lyrics of the Australian singer and songwriter Emma Hewitt, and her special style. Her repertoire includes electronic dance music, vocal trance, chillout, house, and alternative rock.
Emma Louise Hewitt at the beginning of her career was inspired by the extensive collection of seventies music recordings collected by her father, the composition "Pink Floyd", and the work of the group "Nirvana".
Road to vocation
The biography of the future star began in 1988. The girl was born on April 28 in the city of Geelong. Brother Anthony grew up with her in the family.
Both children in childhood were fond of music. This was facilitated by the creative atmosphere of the family. Parents loved music. A wonderful collection was collected from his father, with which he introduced his daughter and son. Emmy demonstrated vocal abilities from an early age. However, the girl did not aspire to take part in competitions or sing in public, although she dreamed of connecting fate with a performing career.
When the girl turned sixteen, she decided on a debut performance. Together with her brother, the girl founded the group "Missing Hours". In it, she took the place of leader. The start was very successful.
Emma chose rock music as the main direction for the team and herself. True, this did not stop presenting the first single in the genre of progressive trance. The co-author of the debutante was the British DJ Chris Lake.
The world scene enthusiastically received the vocalist and author of the song "Carry Me Away". The song premiered on "Radio 1 BBC" in the famous "Pete Tong'a" program.
Success
Novelty for 50 weeks remained in the "US Billboard Dance Airplay Chart". According to the version of "Tiesto" and "Armin Van Buuren", the greatest hit was named the best song of the summer of 2007. The debutante left behind even the famous Britney Spears hit "Toxic", which was leading until early December. Emma's song has become a classic of the world dance floors.
The first album was released in October 2008. It was called, like the band, "Missing Hours". The team ceased to exist immediately after the decision of his brother and sister Hewitt to move to Europe for career development. Both continued to work as executing authors. The main focus of both became electronic dance music.
Emma collaborated with leading DJs and bands in Europe. She successfully performed in the most prestigious clubs in the world. In 2009, fans presented the new single from the singer and Dash Berlin "Waiting". The song was immediately named the second best vocal track of the year by Armin Van Buren's popular radio show "A State of Trance" by most listeners.
Inspired by success, the vocalist recorded the new song "Not Enough Time". She was very warmly received by critics who responded about the novelty as touching and sincere. They wrote that the voice of the soloist herself cannot be confused with anyone. The singer worked with Gareth Emery, Ronski Speed, Cosmic Gate and Serge Devant.
In 2010, the hit "Waiting" at the "International Dance Music Awards" ceremony was awarded the best trance track in Europe at the "Winter Music Conference". Twice the singer was nominated for this nomination. The second contender was her composition "Not Enough Time".
Implementation of plans
"Waiting" led the performer to the top of the "Global Trance Chart". In Germany, the track turned into a megahit, and in Mexico and Belgium "A State Of Trance Annual Countdown" rated it as the best vocal track of 2009. This technique was an excellent basis for starting work on the creation of the singer's first album on "Armada Music".
Hewitt confidently holds the first position in Beatport trance charts. She also does not leave writing work. At the international competition of authors, the girl won the category "Best Adult Contemporary" in 2010. Her work was named the best by more than one and a half thousand judges. The result of the triumph was the beginning of cooperation with "Chrysalis Songs UK / Benelux", international publishing.
Her schedule for world touring in 2010 and 2011 turned out to be super dense. She gave not only solo concerts, but also performed at events, including the Global Dance Festival in Colorado and the California Nocturnal Wonderland Festival. The singer as a special guest of "Cosmic Gate" introduced the new tracks of their collection "Wake Your Mind".
The debut collection consists of two discs. The composition of one included club remixes of world famous electronic music producers. Among them are David Bascombe and Alan Moulder. The remix for the first single of the collection "Colors" was created by the famous Armin Van Buuren.
The song "Burn the Sky Down" has become a favorite song of fans of the vocalist. She began a victorious march in the top 10 dance charts of iTunes in seven countries. The single successfully combined electronic rhythms, inimitable vocals and the original arrangement.
Emma writes the texts for new hits herself, based on her own experience. Her co-author is often the brother of Anthony.
