Emma Lohan is a song writer, performance artist and producer based in the west of Ireland. She holds a Masters in Community Music and her work is driven by community growth. What began with a single VE-20 Roland vocoder has evolved into a full, hardware-driven live setup that Emma masterfully bends into her unique artform: a fully improvised performance, co-created in real time with her audience.
“Like plants we grow in synergy, I give to you, you give to me.”
In 2024, Lohan was awarded the Music Bursary from the Irish Arts Council and went on to represent Ireland in the EU-funded Island Connects co-creative artist residency. Her debut album, Black Atlantic, garnered international attention, with one of its tracks featured in the Netflix series Everything Now.
No Emma Lohan set is complete without the unpredictable appearances of Techno God: a mythical, chaotic entity whose earthly mission is to revive car park raves and spread the gospel of Scooter. No performance is the same, moving between absurdity, vulnerability and hilarity. Emma Lohan is a must see in 2026.
