The Apogee Music Series is a month-long celebration at The Promontory in Hyde Park, uniting emerging talent and legendary artists in a boundary-pushing blend of sound, style, and innovation.
Emma Nissen is a 23-year-old jazz-pop phenom who became known for her “Jesus and Jazz” style after a reel of her scatting on her Christian song “Breathe” went viral in late 2023. Since then, thanks to her timeless voice and lovable personality, her videos have amassed over 100 million views, taking her Instagram following from under 10k to over 400k in under six months.
This surge in attention led to Emma being recognized by the likes of Lauren Daigle, SZA, Meghan Trainor, Queen Latifah, and long-time Rihanna, Maroon 5, and Justin Timberlake collaborator, Emmy and Grammy winner Adam Blackstone—who invited Emma to perform with his world-class band at the famed NYC jazz club, The Blue Note. This led to Blackstone producing her most recent single and album title track, "Love Like You."
Additionally produced by Grammy, Dove, and Billboard award winner Seth Mosley, Grammy award nominee Nate Pyfer, and acclaimed producer Stephen Nelson, her debut album showcases Emma's extraordinary talent and is set to be one of the standout releases of the year. Love Like You will be released on August 28, 2024.
