Since releasing his premier single, Need You, at the beginning of 2020, Emanuel has showcased his unquestionable talent regarding his inward-looking and emotive music – enter Worldwide.
After having released his second EP, Session 2: Transformation, Emanuel also announced that renowned Motown Records would be his label partner.

His first single from his sophomore EP, Black Woman, was released alongside a series of digital portraits, honouring black female leaders in and around Toronto’s artistic and advocacy groups.
