We discuss the song writing process, extremely personal lyrics and the recording process. We also chat about the current music scene, about the problems she sometimes encounters simply being a female in the industry and also about the pros and cons of social media.

This is an interview I really enjoyed as Emilia is very open and honest and she is also a superb singer/ songwriter/ performer.
