More on Emily Makis …
From introspective lyricism to high-octane performances, the ‘Emily Makis’ sound is one of duality.
With a voice described as ‘heavenly’ and ‘enthralling’ by DJ Mag, the melodies that Emily has become synonymous with across a string of modern-day drum and bass anthems have now firmly cemented her spot as one of the most recognisable voices in the UK underground scene.
Although she spent most of her formative years growing up in Nottingham, it's Emily Makis' Greek-Cypriot heritage that has had the biggest degree of influence on her mesmerising toplines. Expressive, dynamic, and vigorous in her delivery, Emily has evolved into a sonic chameleon who refuses to be confined to one specific sound. However, the one constant throughout Emily’s catalogue is the strong sentiment of storytelling that exists at the heart of everything that Emily writes, effortlessly delivering poetic lyrics for liquid soundscapes or rave-centric writes designed to smash up the dancefloor.
Taking home the 'Best Vocalist' award at the Drum & Bass Awards and 'Best Track' at the Youth Music Awards, 2023 saw Emily go from strength to strength yet again. During this time she was also nominated for 'Best Vocalist' in DJ Mag’s annual awards, saw her 2023 release with Pola & Bryson 'Phoneline' rack up over 20 million streams, and co-wrote Becky Hill and Chase & Status' massive hit 'Disconnect', which rose to #6 in the UK Charts.
Whilst still aiming to stay true to her roots in the scene, and her emotive Eastern-inspired style, the next twelve months are set to see Emily diversify and establish a brand new soundscape.
