About
Emma-Jean Thackray is an English musician, producer and bandleader from Leeds who moves fluidly between jazz, soul, funk and electronics - playing trumpet, guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, often all on the same record. Her 2021 debut Yellow topped the UK Jazz Albums Chart and won Jazz FM's Album of the Year; her 2025 follow-up Weirdo, a deeply personal record written and recorded almost entirely alone, earned her a Mercury Prize nomination.
