At just 14 years old, Emma Kok has taken the world by storm with her powerful voice and inspiring story. She rose to fame in 2021 after winning the tenth season of The Voice Kids, and has since become a global sensation, collaborating with legendary violinist and conductor Andr Rieu.
Born on March 12, 2008, in Maastricht, Netherlands, Emma grew up in a family of musicians. Her parents, Vico and Nathalie Kok, met at a concert hall, and her brother Enzo is a violinist, while her sister Sophie is a classical singer. Despite being born with gastroparesis and relying on a feeding tube since the age of nine months, Emma has never let her condition hold her back.
In 2021, Emma won the tenth season of The Voice Kids under the coaching of rapper Ali B. This victory paved the way for her to perform at a benefit concert for the victims of the 2021 European floods in Limburg. In 2022, she released her first single, "Laat Mij Een Vlinder Zijn," which marked the beginning of her solo career.
In 2023, Emma's rendition of "Voil" by Barbara Pravi on the inaugural season of Ministars caught the attention of Andr Rieu, who was so impressed that he invited her to perform with him at his annual concert series at the Vrijthof in July 2023. The performance soon went viral, amassing 2.6 million views in just five days. This collaboration led to the release of three covers with Rieu: "Voil," "White Christmas," and "All I Want for Christmas Is You."
In January 2024, Emma joined Andr Rieu on his world tour, taking her talents to a global stage. She has also made appearances on popular TV shows, including "Die Helene Fischer Show," where she sang "Voil" with Helene Fischer.
Despite facing bullying due to her illness and smaller stature, Emma has never given up on her dreams. Her determination and passion for music have inspired millions around the world, making her a role model for young people everywhere.
Emma's motto is to "never give up" and to always believe in oneself. She hopes to inspire others to pursue their dreams, despite any obstacles they may face.
