Life and Music Career
Early Life and First Songs
Emma Louise Lobb was born in July 1991 and grew up in Cairns, Australia. Her musical journey started at a young age. She told ABC News, "My dad bought me my first guitar when I was six and I wrote my first song when I was in grade nine, which was about a dog."
In 2007, while still in high school, she won two Queensland Music Awards for her song "Kim's Song." A year later, she released her first collection of songs, an extended play (EP) called Autumn Tongues.
In 2010, she moved to Brisbane. She said her biggest musical inspirations were Australian artists like Missy Higgins, Josh Pyke, Sarah Blasko, and Lior.
Breakthrough with "Jungle"
In April 2011, Emma Louise released another EP called Full Hearts & Empty Rooms. One of its songs, "Jungle", became a huge hit. It was played a lot on the popular Australian radio station Triple J. The song was so popular that it landed at number 23 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2011 list.
That same year, she toured with the band Boy & Bear and was nominated for a J Award as a rising star.
Studio Albums and Success
In March 2013, Emma Louise released her first full album, Vs Head vs Heart. It was very successful, reaching number 12 on the ARIA Albums Chart. This led to her nomination for Best Female Artist at the ARIA Music Awards.
A German DJ named Wankelmut created a remix of "Jungle" called "My Head Is a Jungle". This version became a massive hit in Europe. In 2014, the original song "Jungle" was used in a worldwide ad campaign for a famous fashion brand.
She also worked with the Australian electronic group Flight Facilities on their song "Two Bodies" in 2014.
