EMAR (pron. Ehm-Ahr) is an emerging international world music artist. Born in the Balkans and raised in Canada, EMAR‘s multicultural influences inspire her to sing and record in several languages including English, Serbian, Hindi, Persian, Arabic and Church Slavonic.

If you like Electro-dance, World, and New Age you will love EMAR. Think – Enigma, Buddha Bar and Delirium.

On her debut album, EMAR: Sacred Soul, released September’08, EMAR worked with three renowned producers to create her ethereal, spiritual sound: Genie Award-nominated Sean Eyre, 2007 Canadian Music Awards winner and 2009 JUNO nominated for Best World Music, Andrew McPherson of Eccodek and noted film composer Igor Vrabac. Playing on five of the album’s tracks is World Music multi-instrumentalist Boris Sichon.

Born in Belgrade in the former Yugoslavia, now Serbia, EMAR, along with her family, moved to Toronto, Canada, shortly after her birth. EMAR lived in Canada for six years and then returned to Belgrade for almost a decade. In 1989, just before the country’s collapse, young EMAR returned to Canada for good.

In 1999 EMAR moved to the west coast of Canada, where she discovered her artistic self and gained insight into her innate spirituality. In 2004, upon returning to Toronto, using her own initials she adopted the name EMAR, which conjures an image of the same mystic, eastern culture that is reflected in her music.

EMAR’s mission is to awaken “we are all one” consciousness in our world, through music & spirituality by embracing all religions and nations as one.
