Interview with Emma Burke

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: i was a singer in a track that from the beginning, we had no idea how the song was going to evolve, but boy did it bloom into such a beautiful track and the process was so much fun as it was with some very close friends of mine. It was an emotional rollercoaster, but the end product was just amazing.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: At the moment I am working on an original track, 90's R&B inspired.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: unfortunately not. I am new to this platform so I will be getting to know people as time goes on.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: If I was rich, analog. You cannot beat something as real as analog sound. Digital is more accessible to the people.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: To enter this project with an open mind and heart and also, to welcome any constructive critiscim.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Tapping into my creativity, letting flow state happen, doing something that sets my soul on fire, connecting with people globally, and creating a beautiful masterpiece by the end of it. I have made some very close friends through this line of work.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: N/A everyone is different.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That it you don't have a chance of making it.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Come with an open mind.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My MacbookPro, Shure SM58, headphones, interface, LaunchKeymini.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been singing all of my life, literally since I could talk I have been singing. I was on stage for the first time when I was 5 years-old. So, you could say I have been singing for a quarter of a century. I studied Audio Production in 2020, so I have been working on live sound and recording, mixing etc for 3 years.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I would describe my style as fluid. I can morph my voice to suit any kind of genre. My most loved genre is chill, trip hob, jazzy style tunes so I feel like I can sink deeper into these genres.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Little Simz, because she is badass, musically, lyrically, emotionally, spiritually, etc etc etc.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Take breaks. If you have been working on a track for too long, your vision can get skewed. It is so important to take a step back sometimes, to let the track breathe, and come back with a fresh perspective.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: EDM, trip-hop.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My voice and harmonies.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: i bring creative input, harmonies, and a sprinkle of soul to a song.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I will ask the client to send me their ideas on what they want from me. If they already have lyrics and all ready to go, it is an extremely fast turnaround. However, if I am creating the melody and lyrics, I will be in contact with the client throughout the whole process to ensure that I am keeping in line with their vision. I will discuss what vibe they want, do's and don'ts, any specific tones, or lyric ideas will all be part of the process. I like my clients to be heavily involved in the process, however, if they are extremely busy and need to get the job done quickly at their request I can do my work with little communication. The creative process can be so different for each project depending on the requests.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio set up is simple but effective. I have Ableton Live, using my MacOs, shure sm 58, Focusrite interface and Audio Technica Headphones lets me create clean, crisp sounds.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Crumb, Grimes, Little Simz, Cleo Sol, FKJ, Tom Misch, IAMDDB, Haitus Kayote.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Providing vocals and lyrics for clients.
