Emma-Lisa Roux discovered the Renaissance lute at the age of six with her first teacher Claire Antonini, who also introduced her to singing. Her growing passion for Renaissance music led her to study the lute in the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, where she completed her Bachelor's degree with Hopkinson Smith in 2018, her Master's degree with Peter Croton in early 2021, and her Master in Pedagogy in June 2022.

She focuses on repertoire from the 15th to the 17th century, performing in Europe and North America with ensembles such as Ensemble Phoenix Munich, Phaedrus, Blue Heron, Les Délices or Concerto di Margherita as a lute player or a singing-lutenist. She is also one of the founding members of the Casulana Lute Consort.

Emma-Lisa regularly performs as a soloist as well, with her current program "Singing to the lute" (Italian madrigals and French songs of the 16th century) in festivals such as the Oude Muziek Festival in Holland, the Trigonale Festival in Austria and at the German and French Lute Societies.

Stepping outside of the Early Music world, Emma-Lisa recently participated in the recording of the CD "A Day with Suzanne, a Tribute to Leonard Cohen" with Joel Frederiksen, Hille Perl and Domen Marinčič which came out in January 2023 and took part in a theater production entitled "Der Phönix aus der Währung" as a theorbo player and singer in Theater Basel (in Basel, Switzerland) in 2022.
