Universal recording artist Emiko will be a special guest at the Grand Opening of the new Sam Ash NYC Flagship store.  Endorsed by the Kurzweil music company, Emiko is a spokesperson for their world famous keyboards and will be performing at the event, conducting workshops and demonstrating Kurzweil's latest technologies. 

A child prodigy on the piano at age 3, Emiko transitioned from a classical music artist to a rising pop singer/songwriter.  When Emiko went on tour in Japan in 2009, she had no idea that a 10 day stay would turn into a two year whirlwind of events, sparked by an unexpected romance and moving to England with her new found love.  Now back home in NYC with her now ex-pat amour, Emiko chronicles her experiences of the last three years on her upcoming album, "Moving The Universe Part 1." The new album showcases Emiko's funky pop-rock / singer-songwriter style, which has been described as a tapestry of sounds, bringing to mind "Adele meets Alicia Keys -- but edgier and more rock," and "Sara Bareilles but more aggressive and funky."  

We invite you to meet Emiko and cover her appearance at the Grand Opening of Sam Ash this Thursday.  The event takes place from 7 - 11pm .  Other musical celebrities will also be in attendance.  To confirm your attendance, please contact ISL Public Relations (917-338-6199), Ida S.
