ABOUT EMERGER:
Dreamy, synth-driven melodies, cinematic progressions, powerhouse pop vocals, and punchy beats – this is the sonic palate of alt-pop duo EMERGER.
Formed by Emma de Goede, who is the lead vocalist and pianist, and Gerrit Matthee, who is a multi-instrumentalist and the duo’s producer, are both alumni of the University of Cape Town’s South African College of Music (Emma graduated with a BMus in Jazz Performance, while Gerrit completed his BMus in Classical Composition).
With the release of their debut mini-album ‘Bloom’ in 2018, EMERGER has been making waves both nationally and in the UK.
Their debut single, ‘Break & Fall’ was a winner of the Avid and Abbey Road Studios International Song Contest, picked from nearly 5000 international entries. They had the opportunity to travel to Abbey Road Studios in London for the mastering of this winning song, as well as their mini-album 'Bloom'.
They were also selected as Apple Music South Africa’s New Artist Spotlight for the month of July. ‘Break & Fall’ has been playlisted on several Apple Music playlists and the album was also featured in Apple Music's 10 Albums You Must Hear This Month (July).
Their single ‘Hindsight’ has been played on BBC Radio 6 Music as part of the BBC Introducing show. ’Hindsight’ and ‘Urban Wilderness’ was also selected as a “Fresh Fave” on the UK blog Fresh on the Net.
Catch them on 18 January at The Raptor Room, where the duo will be bringing their album to life, live on stage for the very first time.
