Emile Welman

Emile Welman is a contemporary Jazz singer who fuses an R&B/Hip-Hop twist to the classic Jazz genre.  Originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, Emile first came onto the music scene through the formation of the South African a cappella band, Overtone.

Emile quickly became a local sensation for his dashing appearance and remarkable vocal range as the lead-singer and front man of the band. 
Emile’s voice ranges over three octaves, which naturally lends itself to the jazz and swing eras. His goal is to make jazz popular again by infusing it with a hip-hop/R&B influence.  

Since his initial solo release, Love Away” back in 2013 on iTunes, Emile has gone on to perform a variety of shows throughout Los Angeles.  He joined the California Crooner’s Club in late 2015 alongside Hugh Sheridan and Gabe Roland to perform on highly anticipated tour in Australia.  At the tour’s end, Emile will return to Los Angeles to finish up the final touches to his debut solo album.
