Welcome to Emma Joy Music!

Emma Joy is a Sydney based Australian producer, singer songwriter, pianist, arranger and educator. With wide-ranging influences from pop and hip hop to classical and jazz music, Emma’s songs combine soothing melodies with soulful grooves.  Songwriting is a powerful platform to explore and express the whole spectrum of human emotions from joy to grief and loss. Emma aims to inspire inner reflection as well as human connection through her art. 

Emma studied at Berklee College of Music and has performed her original music on stages across NYC, Boston and LA. She has released five EP’s - NY/BNE, Emma Joy - An Introduction, Sweet Love, Universal and Twists and Turns. Universal was launched at Sydney’s The Grounds of Alexandria in 2017. She produced a music video of her song Together as the Australian artist in the Songs for World Peace, a 2020 global initiative of artists from 60+ countries promoting world peace.

An advocate for music education, Emma created a 2022 music tutorial film project, Simply Iconic Music, encouraging pianists of all abilities to play iconic music through her simple arrangements. Utilising her unique arranging and teaching skills, in these film tutorials Emma teaches customised piano arrangements of Taylor Swift’s All Too Well  and Erik Satie’s Gymnopedie No. 1.

She directed Songwriters in the Round at Phoenix Central Park - a filmed series of live music performances by three singer songwriters - herself and two emerging artists, Aiden Herman and Thea Sholl. Filmed on January 24th, 2023, Emma’s set of music (Around Town, Supernova, Summer Afternoon) features exciting collaborations with esteemed author Nikki Gemmell on lyrics and with student Eir Neilson on music and lyrics for Around Town.

Along with the creation of music, Emma is passionate about the intersection of business and art, and holds an MBA from the University of Sydney.
