Emma Bennison is a singer/song-writer whose work traverses a range of musical styles and genres. Emma has a Bachelor of Music from the University of Queensland and has received several Trinity College awards for piano.

She has performed at various national and international festivals and is also an arranger and choral conductor specialising in acapella music.

As CEO of national arts and disability peak body, Arts Access Australia, Emma witnesses daily the barriers which still exist to full and equal access to the arts for people with disability as audiences, artists and arts and cultural leaders.

She has seen first-hand the impact that high-quality work created by artists with disability can have on changing community perceptions of the contribution people with disability have to make to the arts.

Emma released her 2nd album "Fine Lines" in 2015.
