With a voice regularly compared with Sia and Florence Welch, 'Fransis lights up a room with her electric performance' whether it be a upbeat pop to sultry jazz standards, she is not a half soaked performer, you can expect the same level of quality across the board whether it be a corporate event, engagement party, festival, birthday or wedding, she will bring your event to that next level of wow.

Performing from a young age, and going on to obtain a degree in music performance, Fransis has developed and cultivated her signature style and captivating sound. She holds a handful of residency's in London venues, and also works as a session singer and songwriter. All this whilst performing her own original material alongside.

Fransis brought great energy to our party and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to entertain at any event.

Amazing experience, highly recommend.
Absolutely amazing, quick communication, arrived well in advance and enjoyed by all our guests and team. Highly recommended!!!
Super afternoon with Fransis, she is so lovely and made all the difference!
We booked Emma to sing at our wedding after seeing her on Poptop and she was amazing from start to finish. We could not recommend her enough. Whatever you need, be sure to book Fransis for it!
Fransis is absolutely fantastic! A beautiful voice! She had everyone at the party wanting to get her contact details for their events. Prior the the event her communication was excellent too. Thanks Fransis!
Emma was lovely she tried her best to incorporate all the songs that we asked for! She made a lovely atmosphere for the event, it was a shame that my family are SO loud and that we put Emma at the back of the garden, we all wished we could hear more of her voice over the music!! Our only criticism would be that!! Next time we would put her in the middle of the crowd instead, otherwise an amazing performer, thank you Emma
Fab guests enjoyed! Beautiful voice :)
Can’t thank Emma enough for being part of our day, she was incredible and would highly recommend Emma to everyone xx
Thoroughly enjoyable working with Emma. She was professional and flexible around details on the day. Highly recommend
Emma's performance at The Goring Hotel was Fantastic. She arrived early, incorporated all the song requests and entertained Beautifully. I would highly recommend Emma.
Emma performed at our delayed work Christmas party and we was extremely pleased with all aspects from the communication pre event, song choices, Emma's beautiful voice and ability to have the room up dancing. I highly recommend Emma and if circumstances arises I would definitely use her again
