Emileo

Born in Berlin in 2000, Emileo moved to Spain at 16 before heading south to the romantic, mystical terrain of Morocco before winning the inaugural Sinead O'Connor BA Commercial Modern Music Scholarship of BIMM Dublin in 2020, the city where she currently lives and writes.

This fearless sense of pioneering, nomadic adventure mirrors Emileo’s extraordinary musical talents and communicative skills; lyrically proficient in four languages, she delivers a remarkable kaleidoscope of sounds and imagery that soars with individuality and heart. Her music is firmly rooted in those sun-kissed, travelled cultures but is also informed by the glacial textures of her Germanic origins.
Emileo has been personally invited by artists such as Mundy and Tolü Makay to support them around Ireland and has performed in Dublin’s landmark Olympia Theatre and Cork’s Opera House as special guest to Tori Amos. In September 2023 she organised the charity event ‘Music for Morocco’ for the victims of the Moroccan earthquake and was able to raise 1500€ of donations. This May, she will showcase her unique sound at The Great Escape in Brighton.

Emileo’s quest for knowledge and cultural appreciation is a cornerstone of her aesthetic. After completing a short course in Classical Indian Vocal Singing in Jaipur, India, she immersed herself last summer in traditional Gnawa music in Morocco. Her latest EP 'A Thief of Mother's Milk' takes her back to her Berlin roots and merges melodic techno with the exotic colours of tribal sounds.
