Emmy and you

After living one year in Dublin and learning a lot about music, my dream to live an artistic project was born.

After my first 6 tracks CD and my meeting with musicians who love Irish folk music as mush as me, I started the project to go back to Ireland to record my 2nd CD. This is meant to be a real cultural and artistic exchange between French and Irish musicians.

In practical terms, I would like to go to Dublin for a week with 2 French musicians (a guitar player and a bodhran a whistle player) to record 5 of my songs. They're folk english songs. I'm looking for Irish musicians who would participate in the recording in order to share their knowledge and influences with us.

After 3 days of rehearsals with them and playing in public places in Dublin, we'll record in a studio for 3 days.

If we collect enough money, a sound illustrator will join us to create some videoclips in order to complement the artistic creation and the CD promotion.

I will make 1000 self-produced copies of it.

I'm a young teacher working in a primary and a secondary school in Vénissieux, near Lyon. I teach French to foreign children who just arrived in France.

I also love music and especially singing. I write and compose mainly in English. You can listen to my voice on www.myspace.com/emmyandyou.

My first CD called Water lily was released in December 2010, as a duet called Lumi. You can listen to it on www.myspace.com/lumiwaterlily. It's also on Deezer, iTunes, Amazon, ...
