Speaking to ‘thehearup’, Emmet had told us the recipe for his success is to create a distinctive, consistent melodic style in a contemporary fashion so that when the listener’s ear gets accustomed to one sound they’ll almost automatically like subsequent releases.

His debut single ‘Take Me to Paradise’ has almost amassed fifty thousand streams on all platforms. Beating the likes of superstar James Arthur, dance music giant Marshmello, Felix Jaehn, and singer Avril Lavigne to claim Spanish radios number one song, while streamed on all major platforms his music also has spun on traditional radio stations both in Ireland and abroad.

According to his website, www.emmetglascott.com he sources inspiration from Kygo, Calvin Harris, and Avicii who all also have a distinctive sound. Glascott first started listening to music through the acoustic sounds of Ed Sheeran, who Emmet describes as the reason why he has picked up a guitar and has used many acoustic elements on his tracks.

While mostly making original music, he has also over fifty thousand streams on his remix of Tiesto, Jonas Blue & Rita Ora’s song ‘Ritual’. With also a new song ‘Sorry’ on the way, holding some guitar riffs and an explosive dance sound, surely this is a recipe for success?

The future looks very bright for the young Irish producer. ‘Sorry’ has been signed to ‘DaCosta Records’ owned by DJ Louise DaCosta. Louise has opened for the likes of Calvin Harris, Don Diablo, Benni Benassi, and Pete Tong.

DaCosta has previously been the A&R at Full Tilt Recordings before founding her own label. Louise DaCosta is Ireland’s number one female DJ & award-winning international artist.

He has received appraisal from international superstar DJ John Gibbons, who has added Emmet to his playlist a numerous amount of times. Gibbons’ co-producer Franklin has called Emmet’s sound ‘’unique & fresh’’ comparing Emmet’s sound to that of Dutch DJ and record producer Martin Garrix, who Franklin gathers as one of his biggest inspirations.
