Em Hoggett is a British actress, critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, pianist and activist. Her debut EP, What I Want To Say To You, earned rave reviews from some of the most prestigious critics in the music business.

Em trained as a classical pianist since the age of 4, performed internationally, and received two degrees as a child. Soon after her move to LA, Em met Grammy-nominated producer, Bruce Witkin (Aerosmith, Marilyn Manson), and together, they released Em’s solo debut EP, What I Want To Say To You, an album dedicated to her experience of sexual assault. Survivors across the world were affected by the truthfulness and vulnerability of the EP. Named “a rising music star” by Thrive Global, Em now announces her new 12 track concept album, REBORN, which comes with a full band, Em & The Gems and a whole new style. While performing in LA, Em met bass legend [[Melvin Brannon]] (Booker T. Jones) and drummer, Tyler Hammond (Limp Bizkit, Fred Durst), who quickly became The Gems. Both musicians were highly influential in creating the unique sound of REBORN (to be released May 2019).

Em trained in drama and music from a young age, attending full time at Sylvia Young Theatre School, Purcell School for Young Musicians, and turning down a scholarship to Berklee College of Music to attend prestigious New York drama school, American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
