Emerson is a Bay Area musician that has delighted fans and critics from around the globe for nearly three decades. His current musical vehicle, The Grow Wiser Band, has been performing at festivals, clubs and events for over ten years.

Emerson's unique sound comes from exposure to both Caribbean and European music genres, as well as American soul music. When people ask what "style" he sings, the closest description would be rhythm and blues, soft jazz and a sound that can have a touch of country, or reggae.

Emerson has released four CD's, the first in 1996 entitled Ball and Chain, and the second in 1999, entitled Growiser. He is currently in his studio working on his latest CD, Don't Look Back, released in 2005, and a fourth Better Be Good, 2006.

Whether it is a message to himself, to a loved one, or for the younger generations of today, Emerson's lyrics all have a purpose. While most of his songs are autobiographical, many songs also evolve from other people's stories that he has heard over the years
