Emily Maguire is an independent singer-songwriter originally from London, now based on a farm in the Australian bush. Growing up without a TV at home, she developed a passion for books and music, learning to play classical cello, piano, flute and recorder. Then she discovered Bob Marley, taught herself to play his songs on the guitar, and when a chronic illness left her stuck at home for months on end, she started writing her own songs to pass the time.
