Hailing from London, Emerald is a self-taught DJ and broadcaster who, from a young age, harnessed her perceptive knack for record-digging to build and refine a portfolio of selections that quickly became her own.
Since her debut on Rinse FM in 2014, Emerald’s journey through the airwaves saw her hosting a daily Drivetime broadcast, a specialist radio show and eventually heading up Rinse FM’s flagship Friday night Electronic show, The Dance Show. The show received acclaim from inside and outside the genre, with peers and listeners alike praising its direction. Her time on radio further cemented her reputation as both a respected tastemaker and a beloved broadcaster. Emerald will return to the airwaves in 2025 after a short hiatus to focus on music production.

Speaking at and hosting panel shows including ADE Pro, AVA Festival, Women in Business, and Smirnoff’s Equalising Music campaign, her interviewing skills have landed her conversations with M.I.A, The Internet, Skream, HAAI, Chase & Status, Black Coffee, and many more.

Placing focus on championing the unsung heroes of the underground and grassroots dance communities across the UK, Emerald has performed in renowned spaces such as Printworks, The Warehouse Project, Glastonbury Festival, fabric, Lollapalooza, and Corsica Studios, where she had a residency curating lineups and playing extended sets. Alongside this, she promoted her own club night and DJ Mag Award-nominated live stream, Afters with Emerald.
2025 marks the emergence of a new chapter for Emerald as a producer and label boss while maintaining her solid reputation as a tastemaker and broadcaster. Following the success of her debut EP on DJ Haus’ label UTTU in 2024, Emerald is currently working on new productions for release on her own label in early 2025. Her distinctive, experimental sound draws from a passion for techno, electro, house, acid and key waves of UK dance music culture, highlighting her commitment to pushing boundaries as she evolves her artistry.
