Biography

Gemma Fox is an award-winning British recording artist and topline songwriter whose career spans more than two decades of UK R&B, Garage, Bassline and underground music — and is now entering an exciting new chapter across the UK and US.

Her breakthrough single "Girlfriend's Story" featuring MC Lyte reached #38 on the UK Singles Chart and #8 on the Official R&B Chart, helping earn Gemma a MOBO Best Newcomer nomination and an Urban Music Award for Best R&B Act. Her major-label debut album, Messy (Polydor Records), saw her work with an international line-up including Chucky Thompson, Stargate, Midi Mafia, Johnny Douglas, Dexplicit, MC Lyte, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones and Rodney P.

Gemma has since built an extensive independent catalogue spanning R&B, UK Garage, Bassline and House, contributing to millions of streams and numerous UK club and dance chart appearances. Her contribution as a featured artist has resulted in three Gold and two Silver certification plaques.

Today, songwriting sits firmly at the centre of Gemma's career. She is now part of a US-facing production and songwriting team alongside Eric "88 Fingaz" Parham — whose work connects to artists including Erykah Badu, Jennifer Hudson and T-Boz of TLC — and Darryl Perry, who brings decades of relationships spanning Bobby Brown, New Edition, Boyz II Men and Jagged Edge.

Current projects include writing for Lewis (forthcoming album, second single), A'namii (sister of global star Normani), Atlanta R&B artist Torion Sellers (NBC's The Voice, Team Michael Bublé), and acclaimed US songwriter Ursula Yancy (Rihanna's "Skin," Jennifer Lopez's "Troubeaux"). Further collaborators include J Roc, Fredro Rocka, Toneworld, N Fostell and 88 Fingaz.

Gemma is an official songwriter for The House & Garage Orchestra. Her debut release with the collective, "Take Care" featuring Grammy-nominated Syleena Johnson, is out now. She hosts a monthly radio show on Pure FM every last Friday at 10PM, and has been recognised by the Victoria & Albert Museum as part of the "Music Is Black" exhibition.

Gemma is the founder of Fox Music Records and Fox Music Consultancy, working across A&R, publishing, catalogue acquisition, artist development, label strategy and music rights. In Q3 2026, she closed several catalogue acquisitions within the US. She is a member of PRS, MCPS, PPL, the Ivors Academy and the Music Managers Forum (MMF).
