Emiko began her career at the age of two and a half, retiring as a classical concert pianist by age 12. Her impressive catalogue recognized by the Songwriters Hall of Fame in her early 20's, it was clear Emiko would make her mark as a songwriter.

Emiko's songs have garnered critical acclaim and #1 spots on radio and fan charts across the world.
Keyboard Magazine said "Invoking Billy Preston as much as Billy Joel, synth-slinging Emiko proudly doesn't fit into the "singer-songwriter" box ... we expect to hear a lot more from her in the coming months.”
