An Evening with Rory Rocket feat. Emma Hampton

Rory Rockett is a 19-year-old singer-songwriter exploring new worlds with their imaginative folk-pop music. Hailing from Essex but now studying songwriting in London, their lyric-focused songs are informed by their queer experiences and love of fantasy and history. Artists like Aurora, Hozier, Joni Mitchell and The Last Dinner Party are at the forefront of their inspiration. Rory’s current music has evolved from stripped-back SoundCloud tracks and self-produced indie-pop, releasing their single “You (What Enemies Do)” independently in April 2024. 2025 is a year of new music for Rory Rockett, with multiple singles planned for the near future and their EP scheduled for an Autumn release.

Emma Hampton is a London-based singer/songwriter who discovered her musical talent through performing in theatre quite early on in life. She started writing her own music in early 2018, and over the years, she started to find her signature sound. Emma’s songwriting style is unarguably incredibly vulnerable, honest and poetic. She conveys a multitude of emotions with her soft and smooth vocals, and brings it all together with the whimsical and beautiful instrumentals. Hampton wants her listeners not to take her too seriously outside of her songwriting. “I can sing with conviction if you want me to, but I don’t like to admit how sad life is without making a joke of it all”.
