Emmon

Cristian Hagward


I'm working with Wonderland Records out of Sweden to bring you guys more access to damn good music! I've listened to all the artists on the label and let me tell you, all of them are worth your ears. I'm a big fan of Ladytron and this next artist is definitely in that top tier!

Emma Nylén, alias Emmon, is so far perhaps best known as a member of the Swedish indiepopband Paris (Parismusic, Look left recordings, V2 records). The solo project Emmon first saw the light of day in a sound lab at Konstfack in Stockholm in 2001. Since then a number of demos have popped up at various clubs and dancefloors all over Sweden.

After being crowned the electro queen of Sweden, having her demos on high rotation at several radio stations, performing live at Hultfredsfestivalen, P3 Popstad and clubs, supporting band like Stereo Total and Vive le feté, and having remixed a number of tracks for well-known acts- It´s now time to fully concentrate on bringing Emmon out to the masses.

The collaboration with Wonderland Records started in 2006 and since then everything has fallen into place. The debut single ”Wake Up Time” was released on the 29th of November. The debut album The Art & The Evil was released in January of 2007 and has recieved a tremendous amount of publicity and lots of great review.

Here you can read some samples: REVIEWS.During the beginning of 2007 Emmon opened for Melody Club on their tour as well asdoing several own shows. In April Emmon is part of the Spring Wonderland Festival with shows in Sweden and Denmark. Emmon is also booked for this years Arvika Festival alongside giants like Scissor Sisters and Magic Numbers. In April Rock D'Amour, the 2nd single from the album, was released and it features great remixes as well as a superb arty video made by Induction (www.induction.se).Please check back here every now and then for updates or send us an e-mail if you have any questions.
