Rising Voices. Real Impact.
Together, we can bring hope to children affected by war.
Together, our voices can make a difference.
Music has the power to connect people, inspire hope and create change.
This July, Gemma is using her voice to support War Child UK, helping children whose lives have been affected by war.
Through two special events, she and many other emerging artists are coming together to raise funds and awareness—because every child deserves safety, hope and the chance to simply be a child.
📺 7 July – Live Online Broadcast
The journey begins on 7th July with War Child UK’s live online fundraising broadcast.
The event is free to watch and open to everyone, wherever you are in the world.
Enjoy live performances, discover inspiring young artists and join a community coming together through music for one important cause.
If the performances move you, please consider making a donation.
Every contribution, no matter the amount, goes directly to War Child UK and helps children whose lives have been affected by conflict.
🎤 17 July – Rising Voices Live at TAM
The campaign continues on 17th July with Rising Voices, a live charity concert hosted by Gemma at Temple of Art & Music (TAM), Mercato Metropolitano, London.
She’ll be joined by an incredible line-up of emerging artists of all ages, all generously donating their time, talent and voices to support War Child UK.
The evening is about much more than music.
It’s about bringing people together around a shared purpose.
Throughout the event you’ll also be able to support the fundraiser by:
🎟️ Purchasing a ticket to the concert.
🛍️ Buying exclusive campaign merchandise.
🎨 Commissioning a live portrait from our guest illustrator, who will be creating unique portraits of artists and guests throughout the evening. Every portrait purchased will directly support War Child UK.
Every performance, every ticket, every portrait and every purchase helps make a difference.
❤️ Why is Gemma doing this?
At just 15 years old, Gemma believes that music is much more than entertainment.
It has the power to bring people together, inspire hope and give a voice to those who are too often unheard.
By taking part in this campaign, she’s choosing to use her own voice to help children affected by war and to encourage others to make a difference—one song, one donation and one act of kindness at a time.

Gemma is a 15-year-old pop-rock singer-songwriter based in London. Born in Italy, she moved to the UK at 11 without speaking English, using music as a way to express herself and build confidence.
Writing songs since a young age, she draws inspiration from personal experiences, friendships and life between two cultures. Her music ranges from intimate ballads to energetic pop-rock, combining heartfelt songwriting with a distinctive voice that moves between fragility and power.
On stage, she is more than a singer — she is a compelling performer who connects deeply with her audience, delivering messages of authenticity, strength and hope.
