Artist Introduction
At a statuesque six-foot-one, itʼs hard not to notice Ottawa singer-songwriter, Emma Lamontagne. Currently focused on contemporary pop, she is most noted for her emotional live performances, receiving recognition from Linda Perry, John Mellencamp, Alan Frew, and others. Previously the 2016 winner of the RBC Bluesfest “She’s the One” competition, she is fresh off the cycle of her 2019 FACTOR-funded debut album and is ready to set her sights on what’s next. She is currently focusing on songwriting for other artists until it is safe for her, an immuno-compromised artist, to get back out in front of a crowd.
Industry Praise
Alan Frew, Glass Tiger, Capitol – “Having worked with numerous young artists over the last 15 years or so I feel that Emma is one of the top talents to walk through my studio doors”.
Rob Wells, Sony ATV – “I have worked closely with Emma as her producer and co-writer on a number of occasions over the last year, and I’m extremely impressed by her talent”.
Bob Nesbitt, Producer, Ottawa Grassroots Festival - “she really has talent and I predict she’ll go far”.
