Emilia still likes to update fans with what she’s up to on Instagram.
The star boasts over 2k followers on the social media platform.
Speaking about her huge success after Big Big World, Emilia previously told Entertainment Focus: “It was phenomenal, I had a year – two years experience that every female dreams of, if there dream is to be a pop star.
“It wasn’t productive for me as an artist, it was a bit draining and superficial.
“I was only just becoming a woman and entering this world where there was no parents telling me what to do.
“I survived it and it’s an experience and it was super cool when it happened.
“But it’s a little strange way to start a career, it would have been nice to have built that up little by little, rather than starting out at the top the first time around.”
When asked in 2013 how her music has changed over the years, she added: “I do a lot more practising now and I work on my vocals almost every day.
“I didn’t know this back then and for me, my voice has matured, it has more colours and the music that I’m doing now is closer to my heart.
“I am different, it would be strange not to have changed in 15 years, you know?”
