A English singer-songwriter, named by Hello! Magazine as a bright light for 2011. Edei's career began when she was 10 years old, in the main role of Annie, and she performed "Hard Knock Life" alongside Jay-Z on Top of The Pops. For the next few years she wrote to producers, seeking a solo career. She had the opportunity to perform in front of large crowds, and she began to receive offers to become a part of girl groups and audition for talent shows such as The X Factor. However, she was determined to become a successful solo artist on her own, with her own music. When she toured the UK as a supporting artist to Girls Aloud in 2009, Edei was using her birth name, Emma Deigman. Her debut single "In My Bed" was released through Alma Recordings on 12 July 2010, and the follow-up "Loved" was released on 16 January 2011 after much support from BBC Radio 2 (including a record of the week from Ken Bruce) and a nationwide tour with JLS. Edei's debut album was written with Boston-born, Dublin-based producer Misreid and singer-songwriter Conner Reeves (whose writing credits include songs for Joss Stone, Ava Leigh and Tina Turner). Edei was not known in the US for her music until 2015. She has been performing in plays and small glitzy clubs mostly for charity and has donated her time and talent volunteering her services for charitable organizations.
