UK Fusion's Top Ten Recommended Album #9

Busking on the street takes guts, especially when the decision entails standing outside for six months to raise enough money to record an album. A then 20 year old decided "Then again if you want to do something that much, I guess you will."

Fairview Studios then recorded the material and in April 2003, a then twenty one year old Emma Rugg released the self-penned debut album 'Isolated Impression'.

Organising all press, launch gigs, events, and publicity, resulting in numerous reviews and features in magazines such as Rock Sound, sessions on BBC Radio, the sale of the album in HMV and Virgin stores under her own label 'Indreams Records' and a placement at number nine on UK Fusions Top Ten Recommended Albums in July, the album hasn't threatened to budge ever since.

Isolated Impression is an album full of ethereal vocals, intricate guitar driven songs and lyrics that speak emotion, featuring mostly acoustic guitar and drums on tracks - Prelude To The End and Grand Designs.

Emma taught herself to play guitar in 1998, appearing frequently at musicians nights, she became the vocalist of a local band, playing over 250 gigs and took GCSEs whilst performing every night at sixteen.

Going solo, Emma made her name in the UK as an outstanding vocalist and songwriter/composer. She has recently appeared on national TV (BBC One, UK) and Regional BBC news and has done various live sessions for BBC Radio.

On July 1st 2003, US artist Henry Doss was listening to the BBC Raw Talent radio show which streams live on the web. He heard one of Emma's tracks and wanted to collaborate with her. The two spoke for the first time on air on the show. Henry arranged for Emma to be flown to Michigan on Independence Day to record vocals on two tracks to be released in the US. Previews of the tracks aired in a live session on NPR in America. She continued with immediate interviews for radio and press three hours after she arrived back home.

In further association with BBC Raw Talent, Emma was flown out to perform at James Gandolfinis' 'Vines Restaurant' in Oneonta, Upstate New York on October 4th 2003, and returned to the UK to support The Bluetones at a live and exclusive show on October the 25th. Emma was filmed for the BBC's hugely successful TV show Fame Academy which aired on BBC One in March 2004. Emma was selected from thousands to appear on the show.
