Kym Marsh’s lookalike daughter insists she’s not a ‘nepo baby’ as she launches music career
KYM Marsh’s lookalike daughter insists she’s not a ‘nepo baby’ after launching her music career.
Kym’s stunning daughter Emilie has her own music account with over 5,000 followers where she can often be seen sharing videos of herself singing.
But the rising star, 26, has made it clear that her success has not come from her mum’s.
She said: “Some people are always going to say I’m only in the position I’m in because of who my mum is.
“They’ll have their opinions and I can’t change that, but I’d tell them to come and hear me sing or watch me perform and then make up their minds.”
She continued to tell the Mirror: “If I couldn’t sing or act and I just wanted to be famous, then fair enough, but I can do those things.
“Sometimes those skills are in your genes – my mum is an amazing performer – but I am my own person.
“I’ve worked really hard to get where I am. That’s one of the things I’ve learnt from my mum – nothing comes easy. You have to continually work hard.”
Actress Kym, 46, recently wowed her legion of fans as she shared a video of them both singing while they flexed their vocal chords.
She penned: “Such a pleasure to have a little sing song with my baby @emilieecunliffe.x @emiliecunliffemusic I cannot wait for you to hear her debut album, recorded in Nashville!! More info COMING SOON!!…… give her a follow!!!”
Standing in their lounge, the mother and daughter duo belted out Adele’s Someone Like You, and amazed friends and fans.
Carol Vorderman shared love hearts, while Kym’s Strictly partner Graziano penned: “Yessssss!!!”
Love Island star Scott Thomas wrote: “Wow you guys!!! Beautiful,” and Claire Sweeney told the pair it was “gorgeous.”
Another said: “This actually made me cry! Ammmaaazzzzinnnng! Love you both so much.”
At the end of the song they high fived and hugged as they celebrated the rendition.
Emilie says it was her famous mum who introduced her to music producers, who then recognised her potential.
She added: “I thought, if I don’t do it now, when will I? I thought, even if it doesn’t get me anywhere, at least I’ll know that I tried. Fast-forward, they flew me over to Nashville to record my music and it’s been all go ever since.
“With it having been recorded in Nashville, everyone always thinks it’ll be country music, but it’s not.
“There are some songs that do have that nostalgic country sound in them, but I’d definitely say my music is a blend of a few genres.”
