Biography

Roxanne Emery, born 4 October 1984, is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. Her career has run on two parallel tracks: vocal-trance collaborations across the genre's major labels, and a separate solo project under the names Rox Pink and RØRY that has pushed her sound toward indie-pop and singer-songwriter territory. The combined catalogue across both identities has crossed half a billion streams. Her trance collaborations are extensive. The 2017 release of "Saving Light" with her brother Gareth Emery and Standerwick became one of the most-played vocal-uplifting tracks of the late 2010s and a HALIENE-era reference point. The 2018 collaboration with MaRLo on "A Thousand Seas" reached #48 on A State of Trance's 2018 Top 50, with "This Life" with Craig Connelly placing at #17 in the same poll. Earlier work with Dash Berlin on "Shelter" (2014) and Easton on "Healing Rain" (2015) demonstrated the breadth of her producer collaboration network. Since 2019 she has been writing and producing solo material under the name RØRY, collaborating with K-391, Trivecta, Möwe, MitiS, Jason Ross, and others. The project sits closer to indie-pop and atmospheric-electronic territory than to peak-time trance, and it has substantially expanded her audience beyond the trance-vocalist bracket. The dual identity allows her to operate in trance when the right collaboration appears while pursuing a clearly distinct artistic direction in parallel. Her Spotify monthly listeners sit at roughly 240K, and her songwriter credits extend across pop and electronic territory beyond what the listener count suggests. Among trance vocalists who have successfully expanded their work into adjacent commercial territories, Roxanne Emery is the clearest case in 2026 — and her continued availability for trance projects with her brother and others keeps her on the genre's vocal-canon roster despite the parallel pop career.

Sound Style

Vocal trance with strong pop-songwriter underlay — the songs are first, the trance arrangement second, and her writing partnerships with brother Gareth and other producers consistently produce records that retain emotional weight outside the dancefloor context. RØRY project pushes further toward indie-pop sensibility.
