FaceCulture

Ema Jolly is a pianist, composer, electronic music producer and label owner Ema Jolly, better known by her stage name Emika. We had a fascinating conversation with Emika about what it is like to be an independent artist in the current musical climate. We spoke about  the VEGA trilogy, a look back at her work after 10 years in music, that she just released. We also talked about gear as a gateway to another world, music as exploration and discovery, challenging art, dealing with anxiety and doubt, having a very diverse fanbase, making heartfelt music, virtual reality shows, technological developments in music, music therapy, surviving the industry, dealing with manipulation, valuing art and the willingness to pay for it, how music is consumed, what she is working on now, and a lot more!
