Emily Loizeau (born 7 February 1975) is a French singer songwriter. Born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France to a British mother, Emily’s music is influenced as much by French chanson (Jeanne Moreau, Serge Gainsbourg, Michel Legrand) as by American singer-songwriters and icons like Tom Waits and Randy Newman. She cites Georges Brassens, Bob Dylan, and The Beatles as her primary influences. At the end of 2001, at the age of 26, Loizeau decided to dedicate her life to singing.
