Acoustic Guitar with Emily C.

My name is Emily, and I love to write songs. Songwriting has taken me on an unexpected and beautiful journey over the years, starting when I was just 12 years old. I first discovered this art as a way for me to create something magical out of any experience, good or bad. Back then, a song was a gift I could give to my friends when they were going through hard times. I could put myself in their shoes and create something meaningful out of their struggles, something they could hold and be proud of. Songwriting was the dim, sepia-toned hue of a desk light, late on a week night when I should have been sleeping. It held my attention, no matter if I was in a science class or on a long drive with my family. It was the unraveling pathway through my imagination. I could never get enough! As I followed my curiosity, it led me to a lot of incredible places that nurtured my growth further as a songwriter, a singer, and a performer. I spent much of my adolescence traveling from my hometown of Edmonton, Alberta to Nashville and co-writing with some of my greatest teachers. I had the honor of performing in legendary spaces like The Bluebird Cafe, playing countless shows and growing my network. Since then, I've moved to Toronto, where I worked full-time as a musician and songwriter. The songs I've written have played on hit TV shows such as Pretty Little Liars. They've been featured on numerous blogs and radio shows all around the world! And the best part is, it's always growing. Through all these experiences, I cannot help but want to share what I've learned! That's where you guys come in. :)
