I heard Emily to lead a sound of sing-along from my 50th birthday. It was a raving success! Not only does she know the songs have a beautiful voice and play the guitar like a champ, she got everyone out of their seats, singing along and having a great time. I would definitely hire her again.

I have hired Emily several times for women's events at my church. She is professional, gifted, has a great sense of humor, organizes a custom performance, and I highly recommend her.
I have known Emily for a long time, from when she was in my a cappella choir and various musicals that I helped to direct. She's a diligent worker, loves what she does, can be relied upon, and has a beautiful voice.

About
Emily is a singer-songwriter with deep roots in worship, a love for musical theatre, and a heart full of real-life stories. Growing up in a musical family and leading worship from a young age, her songs carry the soul of faith, the honesty of life’s journey, and the richness of storytelling.
Now a wife and mama, she writes from the sacred and the ordinary — drawing inspiration from her walk with Jesus, the beauty and complexity of family, and the raw, joyful, and sometimes messy moments in between.
Her sound blends Christian folk-pop with a touch of theatrical flair, offering heart songs that are both personal and universal. Whether it’s a prayer whispered in melody or a love song born from life’s lessons, her music invites listeners into something deeply authentic and full of hope.
