Bio
Rewriting the narrative behind the misconceptions of what it means to be an artist; singer/songwriter/artivist/author Emma G uses the power of her melodies, lyrics and music to hammer home messages of radical compassion, love, the strength of vulnerability, and empowerment with a soul-pop/rock sound that is engaging, inspiring and appealing to a hugely diverse audience.
With an eclectic sound that is a combination of Pink, Sia, Natalie Merchant, Amy Winehouse, and Alanis Morrissette, Emma G has spent the entirety of 2020 releasing a new single at least every six weeks. She also established the Transformational Coaching: Empowerment through Music and Songwriting program, as well a 47-episode first season of her #REALTALK with Emma G podcast and The Songs that Changed my Life podcast.
Emma G is also the founder of the Capitol Groove Collective: who released their first collaborative project "Dig Deep" in August of 2020 as a direct response to the murder of George Floyd.
Washingtonian Magazine dubbed Emma G as one of the “Best of DC”. ANR Factory describes her voice as "poignant and beautiful” with “astounding bravery to speak up” on issues that matter to her, and DC Fray recently celebrated the music empire that Emma G has been steadily building over the last few years; even through the COVID pandemic that has, quite literally, plagued the world for a majority of 2020.
So where did Emma G’s bravery and grit come from? A long history of health issues, brain surgeries, battles with depression and suicide, drug addiction, and sexual assault, yet using the power of songwriting and music to find the inner strength to come out the other side positively: singing her truth.
“We aren't the product of what happens to us, it's all about how we respond" explains Emma G. “Life is energy, and it’s up to us to decide how we wish to manifest that energy. We can either get swallowed by the moment, or we can take the bullsh*t; turn it into fertilizer, and use it to plant our own garden. I hope that when people hear my music; they fall in love with themselves again - they believe in themselves again - they believe in each other again. We are all powerful beyond measure*, and the change starts with us - will you join me?"”.
And while 2020 has come with many obstacles; Emma G has still made appearances worldwide; including DMV Soundcheck with WUSA9, DCN’s "Art All Night" with Mayor Muriel Bowser, Listen Vision, Stuff.Co.NZ, Washington Post, Newsbreak and DC On Tap. She also released her debut book “My Life, My Songs, My Healing - Turning Life Stories into Song” in November to coincide with the launch of her transformational youth coaching business: Empowerment through Music.
With her career continuing to bloom, and fame surely beckoning, who knows what is around the corner? “At the end of the day, I write, sing and play music because I want to help people. Music has saved my life on countless occasion, and I want to share that with the world ,” Emma G says with sincerity. “I’ve always been the person who sees the beauty in being truly, authentically yourself and celebrating your weirdness - and with the world being so complicated and scary at the moment; I truly believe that being yourself is not just the most powerful act of rebellion - it might actually light a spark and start a movement that saves the world.”
