Worldwide Festival Winner Announced – Emilie Chick
Congratulations to Emilie Chick of indiestore for being chosen by the Worldwide Festival panel to play at this year’s festival in Sete, France. She will open the Worldwide Festival on the 3rd of July.
Emilie Chick is a French-American songstress defining her style through numerous musical experiences.
She grew up between North America and France and joined her first band (Bossa Nova) at 17 by curiosity and has never stopped since.
In barely a couple of years she makes fierce progress moving from classic Rythm n’Blues covers in piano-bars (South of France) to Los Angeles where she performs with an experimental Funk band (Inhaler).
Back in France she will begin various projects including a House improv act in clubs all over France and meets Antoine Clamaran who will feature her on his first album (Release Yourself, Sing a Song 2002).
In 2003 she teams up with a London based Electro Hip-Hop DJ collective (Dapond) to record and perform (Cargo, Harry’s Social Club) and learns heaps about production and programming.
2005 is a turning point, Emilie heads for a solo project with a producer-friend in south of France (This is Emilie Chick Speaking , still in progress) but also records Bag U Should with Quizz (Dialect Recordings, remixed by Charles Webtser , L’Aroye & Ky, playlisted on Radio Nova and many others)
A new collaboration with Antoine Clamaran will set his single Keep on Trying (2006) as a big hit in clubs around the world.
Today she works with Charles Webtser and Atjazz (aka Version) – their first single featuring on Defected presents Charles Webster compilation (out 14th April 2008) is called The Brighter Side…and hopefully the best is yet to come, stay tuned!
