Emmanuel’s Music.

Take a listen to Emmanuel’s single ‘Stop Running’… “an uplifting, rocking out study on the disintegration of love, letting go and hanging on. He’s letting go in more ways than one too… this track is a major departure from Emmanuel’s established jazzy, Michael Buble-inspired roots to a much more up-tempo, contemporary, acoustic rock sound.” You can find all of Emmanuel’s music on iTunes.

Emmanuel has also been associated with the following top South African and international brands.
