Ep 78: Emma-Jean Thackray and the trumpet illusion

My Forever Studio

Emma-Jean Thackray is an award-winning artist, songwriter, arranger, and producer who fuses jazz, soul and electronic elements into her brilliantly vibey and heartfelt music. Off the back of her incredible new self-produced record, ‘Weirdo’, we talk about getting into jazz by mistake, her early arrangement experiments with her brass band, and we navigate building her analogue-heavy forever studio.

In this hilarious episode, learn how she goes about cultivating her taste, why she’s not upgrading to Logic 11, and how method acting techniques can improve your recordings.

Season 7 of the My Forever Studio Podcast is supported by Audient, and the incredible new iD48 audio interface.
