Emma Daumas

Manuelle "Emma" Daumas (born 23 November 1983, in Avignon) is a French singer-songwriter and performer, particularly well known for her participation in Star Academy.

In 2000, Daumas participated in Graines de stars, a live show hosted by Laurent Boyer.

She learned more about the music scene by opening for acts such as Carlos, Éric Colado (comic of southern France), the groups Gold and Émile et Image, Noëlle Perna (a comedian from Nice), at the casino of Juan-les-Pins, but especially Michael Jones with the cabaret Le Rouge-Gorge at Avignon in November 2001, while doing odd jobs to make money.

In August 2002, she endeared herself with the public, but not in sufficient measure to defeat the eventual winner Nolwenn Leroy.

Nevertheless, she reached the semi-final in the contest, and had the opportunity to sing duets with Bruno Pelletier, Serge Lama, Patrick Bruel, Youssou N'Dour and Ray Charles.
