Emanuela Alexa (born April 2, 1992), known professionally as Emaa (stylized in all caps), is a Romanian singer and songwriter. She became known in 2020 after the release of the song "Insula",[1] in collaboration with The Motans, which brought her collaboration with Global Records.[2][3]

Life and career

[edit]

Emanuela Alexa was born on April 2, 1992, in Lugoj, Romania. Emaa started singing as a child, being encouraged by her mother and grandparents.[4] At the age of three, she participated in Tip Top MiniTop, a televised children's talent contest.[5] She finished high school in her hometown and moved to Timișoara, where she studied at the Faculty of Sociology and Psychology at West University.[5]

After graduating from college, Emaa started playing with the alternative rock band BAB from Timişoara as a composer and vocal soloist. In 2015, she began a long-term collaboration with Silent Strike and released her first single, "Mâine", with Deliric.[6]

In 2017, Emaa was the female voice in the tracks on the album released by Silent Strike and entitled It`s Not Safe To Turn Off Your Computer.[6]

In 2018, she worked with Silent Strike, Deliric, Seek Music and Paul Parker on the soundtrack for the HBO-based Hackerville television series.[7]

In 2020, after signing with Global Records,[8] she had a collaboration with Sickotoy for the song "Gasolina".[9]

In October 2020, The Motans and Emaa released the song "Insula".[10] On December 1, 2020, the artist released her first studio album, Macii înfloresc iarna, which contains four songs performed by Emaa and three collaborations with Bastien, Bruja and Killa Fonic.[11]
