Roxanne Emery

Roxanne Emery is set to become the country’s most irresistible new pop star. She releases her debut single Real on November 8th on De Angelis Records.

Until only last year, Roxanne was working full-time as a high-flying banker in the city. The City’s loss is our gain.

Icelandic singer/songwriter Hera has been living in New Zealand for about 10 years whilst cultivating and carving out a very successful career in her native land on the opposite side of the world. Not an easy task but one that was deservedly rewarded in 2002 when HERA was named Best Female Singer at that year’s Icelandic Music Awards, a major achievement for the young artist given that for the previous 10 years that category had been almost completely dominated by Bjork.
