In honour of International Women’s Day, I’ve put together a very special three-part series of BACKSTORY featuring three super talented & inspiring women in the dance music scene , this week’s guest is the wonderful Emerald. She’s a presenter & DJ hosting a monthly residency on 1Xtra and a weekly residency on Rinse FM. Over lockdown she really embraced the world of streaming hosting 'Afters At Emeralds' on a Saturday night, it was so brilliant that she was nominated for Best Solo Stream Series in DJ Mags Best of British 2020!

Welcome to the world of Emerald. Here’s what happened when we caught up!
