ZEMPHY
Let me play the songs you grew up loving; live, reimagined, and built for a proper crowd singalong.
Unforgettable
EST. 2013
Hello, it's lovely to meet you.
I'm an Irish singer-songwriter, and I play the biggest hits of the 90s, 00s, and 10s; the songs that scored your teenage bedroom, your first proper heartbreak, your loudest car karaoke. Expect silky vocals, expressive piano, warm guitar, and (I promise) the kind of warmth that makes a room feel like home. I split my time between London and Stockholm, and I travel across the UK, Sweden, and Ireland for weddings, corporate events, and private parties. One minute we're all misty-eyed at Someone Like You. The next, you and your guests are on the chairs shouting Wannabe back at me, which, honestly, is usually my favourite bit.
A set for every celebration.
Gala dinner, product launch, awards night, or Christmas party; I'll read the room and meet the moment. Polished when you need polished, playful when it's time for the ties to loosen. Your guests will still be quoting the set on Monday morning.
Tell me who we're celebrating (a big birthday, an anniversary, a milestone worth marking), and I'll build you a set that feels just right. Intimate when you want it intimate, loud when you don't. I'm also very happy to learn a special song on request.
Pubs, bars, members' clubs, the homes of live music. I bring the songs people forgot they loved, and an easy energy that suits a quiet Wednesday as well as a packed Saturday. Available for one-off nights and ongoing residencies alike.
Hotel lobbies, afternoon teas, restaurant openings, members' lounges. Soft, considered sets that lift the room without ever pulling focus from the conversation, then quietly turn up the warmth as the evening unfolds.
Festivals, brand activations, charity galas, surprise serenades, or something I've not done before. If you have an idea that doesn't quite fit a box, send it over. I love the unusual ones, and I'm always happy to learn a song just for the night.
What hosts & couples say.
ZEMPHY completely made our wedding. Every guest asked about her; she's somehow the warmest person in the room and a phenomenal musician.
Our crowd doesn't usually stop talking for the entertainment. They stopped. They listened. Then by the last song they were on the chairs singing Wannabe back at her.
Plan your perfect evening together.
Tell me a little about your occasion (when, where, and what we're celebrating), and I'll be back to you within 24 hours with availability, a few ideas, and a glass-clinking quote.
