Emiko
-----------------------------------------------------
Emiko: (according to CDbaby.com) "A wild, interactive, and honest experience. Hyper and in-your-face as much as she is understated and haunting, Emiko's sound is big enough to fill an arena even when she is just whispering in your ear."

A two time veteran performer in the Songwriters' Hall of Fame showcases, Emiko was recently featured on their Best of the Songwriters Hall of Fame New Writers Showcase" CD compilation (Volume 1), appeared in Billboard Magazine, and named New Century Productions # 7 artist of 2002 overall after reigning as the Number 1 artist of November 2002.

Emiko's latest release, "Here Lies Tinkerbell" (OA Entertainment, 2001) features her most seductive and inviting songs. She tells listeners her feelings about love, heartbreak, sex, and French history (buy the record to find out!) while playing the hell out of the piano, sometimes with her feet, and twisting her voice with self dependent, daring sarcasm and cerebral, matter of fact, yet melancholy undertones. Her lyrics are laden with sharp insights and humor. Her music reflects this in the grooves, melodies, and bright harmonies that layer and decorate her songs.

Considered a child prodigy playing by 2 and 1/2, Emiko was performing classically in front of major audiences by age 6 and composing "mini-masterpieces" by age 7. After spending most of her childhood in conservatory in Washington, DC, Emiko discovered rock music and started conjuring up a secret operation to retire from the classical stage and pursue her dreams of rock n' roll and world domination.

Releasing her first record in 1997, then 16 year old Emiko took the Washington music scene (and soon the nation) by storm. The Washington Post gave her a rave review, calling her music, "cathartic and catchy...RAW ROCK!!!"

When Emiko is not touring and performing with her band, the GeminiStation Project, she makes her home in New York City.
