Emma Deigman always seemed destined for big things. She was born Buckinghamshire, but is now based in London. Her West End debut in Les MisÈrables was at 7 years old. She played ponine in the show's record-breaking opening run. By the time they asked her back to play Cosette, she was too busy starring in Annie, a role that took the 10 year old to both the Royal Variety Show and Top Of The Pops, where she performed with Jay-Z.

"Seven of us sang on his hit Hard Knock Life and not one of us knew who he was," laughs Deigman. "I have a picture of me and my mate sitting on Jay-Z's lap, dressed in rags. He was trying to teach us ghetto hand signs. We were more interested in whatever boy band was there."

"Even better was singing at the Royal Variety show with Lily Savage. She was hysterical. All the kids were supposed to look angry, but Lily kept telling us jokes, making us giggle. I remember the whole England football team was there and we were screaming at David Beckham."

More recently Emma has been making big waves on YouTube witha series of popular cover songs. She has covered everything from Lady Gaga to The Killers and has been the most viewed video on YouTube on many occasions. An acoustic version of her forthcoming single 'It Was You' is currently featured on the YouTube front page. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
