Current Management Roster
Emiko
Indulging a rare breed of rock n’ roll of the biggest kind, Emiko lives up to the rock legends as a trailblazer who sings, plays keys, takes her own solos, and is unafraid to say what others only dare to think. Having played piano since she was two and half, Emiko has transformed from classical piano prodigy to rock and roll starlet.
A three time featured performer of the Songwriters Hall of Fame New Writers Showcases, Emiko has graced the pages of Billboard Magazine, FM Sound, Music Connection, and other mainstream music publications. As a songwriter, Emiko has writing and production credits under her belt for SONY/ATV, V2, and song placements both nationally and internationally on MTV, VH1, CBS, E!, HGTV, A&E (and more) which have established the Emiko brand as a global entity.
After the critical success of her debut album, “Here Lies Tinkerbell,” 2009 saw Emiko return to the studio to begin work on her sophomore release with 12 time platinum selling, Grammy nominated producer Tommy Faragher (the Bee Gees, Taylor Dayne) and Patrick Shaw (Alicia Keys, Shakira, Mandy Moore) . Emiko’s 2009/2010 World Tour, includes dates in the US, China, Japan, England, and Germany, highlighted by performances at the 2009 Special Olympic Winter Games in Boise, ID, The Pavilion at Sun Valley with Keb Mo’ and the Steelbridge Song Festival with the legendar y Jackson Browne.
Emiko’s several award wins (including the 2005 and 2009 Overplay Song Competition Award) and nominations (2004 BRIT Award), coupled with her incredible chart success in the UK (1 for a record setting 17 weeks on the Overplay Pop/Rock charts) and Japan (3 and 7 on the YouMusic Pop Charts) has led to the fast and furious growth of her fanbase, securing her presence as an artist on the international level. The world around Emiko is also starting to take notice of her savvy business mind.
In July of 2008, Emiko was featured in “Young Working Woman” as one of New York’s most successful entrepreneurial women in business. Emiko is the President and Founder of The 6412 Ltd., a boutique entertainment company that represents up-and-coming singer/songwriters. With her snowballing success on the business side of the music industry, Emiko has been invited to speak at conferences such as the Vancouver Island Music Business Conference, Canadian Music Week, SXSW, Japan Music Week, ASCAP’s I Create Music Expo, The FTF Music Conference and more.
In September of 2009, Emiko was named a part of the Board of Directors of the Center for the Performing Arts in Boise, ID because of her extensive work in music education outreach. Additionally, she is the Founder and Director of the Asian American Music Industry Association - an organization that is dedicated to bridging the gap between Asia and the Western World in today’s popular music industry.
Currently, Emiko makes her home between New York City, London and Japan. Hard at work in the studio on her next album, it can surely be said that Emiko is one step closer to her favorite saying, “If there’s life on Mars, they’ll buy my album!”
