Emily Jordan-Patrikios

Growing up in a musical family, Emily spent her childhood listening to a hugely eclectic range of music, in particular she found she had a great love for jazz and soul. Her professional training began with a scholarship to the Arts Educational school where she graduated with a first class honours degree.

Her career has mostly seen her in acting roles; performing in the West end, off Broadway, and in television and film. As a singer, she has graced the stage of Her Majesty’s theatre, been part of workshops of new musicals both in London and at Bristol Old Vic and has worked with some of the UK’s leading theatre directors.

In 2013, inspired by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Etta James, to more contemporary artists such as Paloma Faith, Beyonce, Melody Gardot and others, Emily founded Belle Noir. From small beginnings in Soho venues to performing worldwide, she’s enjoying every second of this adventure and working with some of the best musical talent in the UK.
