To my childhood best friends Leonie and Sophie, for inspiring me with their kindness and strength and for staying in my life no matter where our paths took us. To Simon, for helping me return to my second home - the stage - and for countless acts of kindness. To Andrew, for our EmDrew road trips and for always being there for me. To Judith, for your faith, friendship and support, to Maddy for every taco trip, mood board and ridiculously strong martini since 2019, and to Dean Jackson from BBC Introducing in the East Midlands, for giving me and so many others airplay and opportunities and remembering the words to our songs even when you heard hundreds a week. To the unsung heroes of the music industry - the hardworking promoters, small venue owners, blogs, creative charities and initiatives, workshop organisers, educational resources, podcast makers and photographers amongst countless others who have helped me along the way. To every person who encouraged me to keep trying. And most importantly, to the listeners and supporters of this crazy dream - sometimes known as the embaes or as Maddy once coined, The LIttle Gems. Whatever you choose, I’m honoured to have even one person enjoying my work. With love and gratitude, emzae x *I would also like to add an extra thank you here to my friends Chloe (AKA K LO), Sam and Emma A whose conversations and company I always treasure. You kept me going in the darkness. (So sorry for forgetting to put you in the vinyl booklet!)
