British jazz vocalist Emma Smith won this year's Parliamentary Jazz Vocalist of the Year Award. And rightly so. With her powerful voice and magnetic stage presence, she has performed at the world's most famous venues, including the Royal Albert Hall. At the age of three, she was already on stage at Ronnie Scott's with her grandfather. Smith has collaborated with greats such as Michael Bublé, The Quincy Jones Orchestra, and Postmodern Jukebox. Her performance is a blend of entertainment and pure artistry, effortlessly switching between swing classics and her own work. Many reviews have heralded her as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary jazz.
