MORE ABOUT EMALINE
In March 2026, Emaline will be returning to Australia to visit the towns and cities she grew up in, reconnecting to her family roots by playing shows in places that her ancestors came from, and writing songs about their stories from the road. As she has done in Europe and North America many times, she will be traveling solo using trains and buses, armed with her trusty Maton acoustic guitar and suitcase keyboard, telling stories and singing songs written in far off lands, in English, Swedish and Scottish Gaelic.
Emaline Delapaix is a rural Northern England based Australian singer-songwriter who writes ethereal and folky songs on acoustic guitar, piano, celtic harp, and other bowed instruments. Her biggest musical influences include Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Joni Mitchell, The Finn Brothers and many Nordic artists. She also plays a handful of Nordic and Western European traditional songs exploring her ancestry.
Emaline’s early and happiest childhood years were spent growing up in a small coastal mountain town in Australia called Thirroul, where she spent most of her time swimming in the sea, climbing trees and eating beans and bananas fresh from her beloved grandfather's garden. Her love of nature and being an only child led her to write poems, stories, and eventually, songs about the wild world around her. Her songs are authentic and raw at times; the lyrics are poetic, dealing with depression and mental health, healing nature, female ancestor stories, animal welfare, love, chronic illness, human dignity, and self-worth. Over the years, she’s drawn musical inspiration from living in unconventional places all over the world. After leaving Melbourne in 2004, that included a cabin on an island in British Columbia Canada, a caravan in rural Eastern Germany close to the Polish border, as well as in London, Toronto, Quebec, Vancouver, and Berlin, where she spent half of her adult life. Most recently, Emaline moved to North Yorkshire England after becoming chronically ill for two years with a break in music, seeking a quieter life with her partner and rescue cat.
Aside from music, Emaline also runs an online vintage shop called ''Wild Finds' selling wild and whimsical treasures from Germany, Scandinavia, and the UK. She loves foraging and herbal medicine, is vegan and regularly gives a percentage of her CD sales to local animal shelters while out on the road.
