'It’s a privilege to play things for the first time ever and being the first person to play someone’s music is a really important thing.” empilbeam

“My mum was a single parent and she used to work late when I was younger, so I'd be at home alone and I'd always put the radio on as a way to have a mate in the house,” explained Emily.

"I didn't really have much confidence because I was 15 but it was really, really fun. We used to have to go around the wards and ask people for requests, and the amount of times I’d go up to people and they were either deaf or pretended to be deaf so they didn't have to talk to me - it was quite embarrassing!”

"I got that, which is mad to think about, because I didn't really have that much experience at the time.” "I remember seeing [the email] and being really annoyed that I couldn’t go out and celebrate,” laughed Emily. “I think Introducing has just gotten bigger and bigger since I started working with them,” said Emily.

“When I was younger I became obsessed with a band called Pulled Apart By Horses, I actually heard them on the Huw Stephens show on Radio 1,” said Emily.After seeing tweets by the band raving about the music coming out of Leeds, Emily decided that this must be the place for her.
