About
Eight schools. One voice.
Emma Tomlinson is an independent crossover artist and one of Australia’s most in-demand anthem vocalists.

Across more than a decade of performing, Emma has built a reputation for delivering goosebump-inducing anthem performances on the country’s biggest stages — including her State of Origin appearances.
Her music sits at the crossover of classical power and contemporary pop, drawing on orchestral arrangement and cinematic production to create something that feels both timeless and current.
Beyond the stage, Emma is a leading voice for autism and hidden-disability inclusion, using her platform to advocate for neurodivergent artists and communities.
Autism & inclusion advocacy
Emma is a nationally recognised advocate for autism and hidden-disability inclusion, honoured by Autism Queensland, the Brisbane Festival, and community organisations across the country. She uses her platform to champion neurodivergent artists and to show that being different is a strength.
