the Empress
the
Naomi Blake, better known as Naomi the
Empress, is a soulful London-based
singer/song writer and music teacher who
liberates herself through music and encour-
ages others to embrace individuality.
Naomi’s sprinkled-in-rock sound blends
elements of jazz, reggae and hip hop into
tracks that arrest the mind, body and
soul.

Naomi discovered her passion as an

artist at the young age of 8. Grand-
daughter to a bishop, she grew up sing-
ing at church and eventually began writ-
ing for the Save The Children Fund. She
is dedicated to helping others rise
above their circumstances to fulfill their
deepest desires and inspired by
Prince’s outlandishness, Michael
Jackson’s dancing skills and
Madonna’s sex appeal.

Naomi has developed an

open-minded writing pro-
cess embracing the many
ways a song is brought to
life. Whether her songs are
born after mini conversa-
tions with her guitar or
based on melodies that
pop into her head, Naomi’s
pieces develop into inspira-
tional, strong sexy tracks that
embrace honoring true indi-
viduality.
