Jazz: A philosophy of the Spiritual
âA musician is a philosopher and a scientist and he uses the science of music to project the particular philosophy he subscribes to. Our music must be melodic and the songs universal, and thatâs about equality.â
- Lester Young
âStar of the show is Conwayâs voice,â - Hot Press
âSplendid.â - The Sunday Independent
âHer own vocalese to Coltraneâs solo demonstrating her abilities to their fullest, flitting through the lyrics at a tempo most rappers would be envious of, while maintaining a bouncing melody and clarity of diction throughout.â - GoldenPlec
Hallelujah - Emilie Conway & Johnny Taylor

Emilie Sings on Episode 18 of Childrenâs Series
Maddie & Triggs
Itâs out: episode 18 The Wind on Maddie + Triggs. My first time to sing on a childrenâs TV show available on RTĂ and BBC!
Such a delight to work with Turnip & Duck and all on Maddie + Triggs. A show all about the adventures of a little girl who has a visual impairment and her dog. Also delighted to be a part of a show that tells this story - as I was once that little girl enchanted by sound and music and adventure. but back then I did not see myself and my experiences represented in any childrenâs shows. Iâm so glad times have changed &
Iâm proud that this Irish creative team are leading innovation and inclusion with the amazing young actress Bonnie OâMeara, who is visually impaired as Maddie.
