Em Louise - It's All About George

Ep. 40

Em Louise Joins Indie Tea Talk! Soulful Vocals & Honest Songwriting


Welcome to another warm and genuine episode of the Indie Tea Talk Podcast.


This week, we’re joined by Em Louise, a soulful UK artist known for her expressive vocals, finger-style guitar, and rich jazz influence.

From singing solos at age 11 to studying Music Production & Performance, to gigging across Cornwall and Devon, Em has built a sound rooted in honesty and experience. Her songs explore love, loss, family, and the realities of growing up, all delivered with heart and clarity.

Since releasing her first single only a year and a half ago, she’s taken huge steps, working with producers across the UK and Europe, attending songwriting camps in Bucharest, London, and Denmark, performing support slots, and even spending time at Abbey Road. In today’s conversation, she opens up about finding her confidence, her creative process, and the stories behind her live session tracks.


What’s Inside This Episode?


🎤 Em’s journey from early solos to independent artist

🎶 The personal stories behind The Sun & The Moon, Ears, and Fathom

☕ Her answer to the Indie Tea Talk tea question (a good one!)

🎷 How saxophone became part of her sound

🎧 Her experiences with songwriting camps and studio sessions
