Biography
Emma was born in Bridgend, Wales. At fifteen, she was the youngest singer to have represented the UK in the contest and only narrowly made the newly implemented age rule in the competition, where all contestants must be 16 in the year they compete. The song had an environmental theme. Many of the 1990 entries chose the momentous events taking place across Europe in the previous twelve months and European Unity as their theme. She released one more single in the UK on Big Wave Records. It was 1991's "Dance All Night" which failed to chart.[3]

Booth now lives in Seattle, with her husband and children. Her father, John Booth, is an actor and acts alongside Owen Money in yearly pantomimes. Her sisters, Amy and Kristie, now run a dance school in South Wales. The dance school, KLA, featured on series 1 of The Greatest Dancer where they finished in 2nd place.
