Emperors are a two piece electro-pop outfit, consisting of singer-songwriter Stephen “Cassandra” Eyre, and producer-songwriter Jankovsky.

The two were brought together by martin "youth" glover, legendary
killing joke bassist and producer for everyone from pink floyd to bananarama, dido to the verve. a performing artist on the east london underground scene, Eyre first met Youth at a psychedelic art exhibition in a whitechapel squat, and a second time whilst go-go dancing with a drag queen troupe at glastonbury festival; Jankovsky - an ambitious fledgling producer fresh out of abbey road institute - at a shoreditch gig.

Youth decided to introduce these two artists from different worlds, to see what unique amalgamation may be born….


Eyre writing lyrics in his at-the-time abandoned hospital location in Chingford, and jankovsky creating lush instrumental textures and melodies in his Greenwhich flat, the two would come together with their material for collaborative sessions.

 

with eyre's crooner vocal style and left-field interests, and Jankovsky's slick, buoyant pop sensibilities  -- with a mutual ambition to transcend genre and reach worldwide audiences -- Emperors is a unique duo of two distinct and bold music artists,

an electrifying, glamorous new pop band;a crooner and two beatmakers; tales through dreamy synths, and infectiously catchy pop
