Emily Williams

Put Emily Williams on stage and you get a pop singer as comfortable with dance tracks as with big ballads. Audiences first met her on Australian Idol in 2005. Soon after, she joined the Young Divas, who had hits with Searching and Turn Me Loose, and the group toured the country five times before going their separate ways. Solo, she released the dance single Spellbound, the soulful You're Mine and the album Uncovered, followed by a 25-date national tour. Born in New Zealand, she recorded Never Alone to raise money for the NZ Red Cross appeal after the Christchurch disaster. The Sydney Opera House is among the venues she's headlined, and Can't Get Enough, her duet with UK artist Leroy, took her to crowds in Ireland, Italy, France, the UAE and Britain. She suits a gala, launch or party that wants a name guests will recognise. Brisbane is home.
