Emlyn

BIOGRAPHY

A songwriter by nature and also by occupation, Emlyn has co-written with artists such as Kiiara, Stela Cole, Brook Williams, Greyson Chance, Rachel Crow, Hailey Knox, and Eben for his debut single "Plastic Angels.” Originally from Nashville, Emlyn began writing songs at the age of 12 with her father, a session drummer and musician. While attending New York University, she helped pay her way through school by placing her songs on SiriusXM's The Coffee House, including a song she co-wrote for Matt Hartke entitled “Gold," which amassed 17 million Spotify streams. After graduation, she moved to Los Angeles and decided it was time to not only use her creative abilities for songwriting, but also to perform as a solo artist. Though she’s experienced some minor pushback from industry members who wanted to keep her in the traditional ‘songwriter only’ box, Emlyn’s recent independent solo releases have become the perfect opportunity to prove that she has the music industry at her fingertips. In a feature with tastemaker outlet Audiofemme, Cillea Houghton affirms, “Emlyn is set to have a big year.”

Emlyn ultimately is a creator, so whether it’s working with other artists or championing a solo effort, she creates satisfying pop melodies with sincere lyrics that come from a genuine place of honesty that’s sure to be well received by the pop community and new generations who thrive on independence, trend on authenticity and crave relatability. In an interview with LADYGUNN, writer Zoe Elaine noted Emlyn’s songwriting style as “vulnerable, but not weak, acknowledging her [own] fragility with authority.”
