Bandleader, multi-instrumentalist, singer and producer Emma-Jean Thackray was born and raised in Yorkshire and started out playing the cornet in a brass band.

After accidentally coming across Miles Davis, she was blown away by jazz and studied at the Royal Welsh College Of Music And Drama, and a then did a master’s at Trinity College.

She has her own record label, Movementt, and has just released her debut album Yellow, which has debuted at number one on the Jazz & Blues Chart. She joined us to talk about the sounds and ideas behind it and why she wanted 'the whole thing to sound like a psychedelic trip'.
