Emma is aiming for the Galaxy
A Doncaster born country music artist and cancer campaigner is preparing to compete for the national title of Ms Galaxy UK after recently finishing 1st Runner-Up at the Ms Great Britain competition.
31-year-old Emma, who was born and grew up in Doncaster, will take part in the Ms Galaxy UK final later this week. The winner will go on to represent the UK at Ms Galaxy International in Texas.
Emma toured as a country music artist for several years having appeared on Team Tom on The Voice UK season 2, travelled to Nashville and released a chart topping record.
Her experiences performing and attending live shows led her to set up 'Girl Country UK', a community that now connects more than 1,000 women across the country who share a love of country music.
The group began as a way to tackle how dangerous it could be for women to enjoy gigs alone.
“Country music has always been a huge part of my life,” she said. “Girl Country UK started as a way for women to connect with others who love the same music and feel more confident going to gigs and festivals.”
Alongside her music career, she also campaigns on cancer policy and is a Campaigns Ambassador for Cancer Research UK, supporting work to improve cancer policy and address inequalities in cancer care.
Emma's journey to Ms Galaxy is proudly sponsored by Akira Aligners, the British-made clear aligner brand known for precision and expert design.
