A Little Bit About Myself:
I’m a 25-year-old Portland native, and I’ve been singing for as long as I’ve been able to speak. I have performed with bands since I was 15, and was writing my own songs even before that. For the past few years I’ve appeared as a background vocalist with a number of artists including Allen Stone, El Vy, The Decemberists, The Motet, Ural Thomas and The Pain, and many more. This summer I’ll be heading out on tour singing with K.D. Lang. I also love to teach voice and I lead vocal workshops when I’m not writing and performing.
About the Album:
This is my first full-length record! The album will have 10 songs, including some you may know such as: (Conversation) and (Shine A Light). The album deals with topics such as sexism, police violence, abuse, expectations, love, and letting go. I’ve been diving deeper into myself to write these songs, and feel they are a strong reflection of what’s been on my mind most recently. I also have an incredible team of people I’ve been working with to put it all together.
The Collaborators:
Producer: Myself and JMost (Jeremy Most) One of my favorite producers. He produced Emily King’s last two albums and is adding his creativity and texture to this record. Raymond Richards and Sebastian Rogers also helped lent their production skills to the record as well!

Risks & Challenges
Being a independent female artist in the music industry is hard. It can be vulnerable to put myself out there and ask for your support. I am so appreciative for the strong community around me, and I do not take your contributions lightly. You have my word that I will take this humbling experience and carry this energy forward to continue to invest back into my community.
