Overview

Hi everyone! I’m a pop and soul singer from Tampa, Florida with a lifelong passion for music. My main instruments are voice and piano, and I’ve studied piano since age five with 13 years of classical training. I’ve sung in choirs since I was 10, performing across genres like classical, pop, soul, and jazz. I’ve been in three competitive a cappella groups, two at the University of Florida and one in high school, earning 1st and 3rd place in ICCA and ICHSA. I graduated from UF in 2024 and am excited to return to performing, including weddings and special events!

About

Hi everyone! My name is Emily Barron, I'm 23 years old and I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. I've always had two major passions: science and music. I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor's degree in Microbiology and Cell Science, but no matter how busy life got, I always found a way to keep music close.
Throughout school, I was deeply involved in vocal performance: from middle school choir to competitive a cappella and chamber choir in high school. My high school a cappella group took 1st place at the SingStrong competition, and I competed in both the ICHSA and ICCA throughout high school and college. While at UF, I was a member of two collegiate a cappella groups, performed piano in the Shands Hospital atrium, and brought music directly to patients through the Musicians in Residence program.
I’ve also had the honor of performing at Epcot’s Candlelight Processional and continue to seek out opportunities to share music with others. Now living back home in Tampa and on the path to becoming a Physician Assistant (PA-C), I’m passionate about keeping music an essential part of my life and sharing soulful, heartfelt performances wherever I can.

Additional booking notes

I do not have a PA system so one must be provided at the venue. Thank you in advance!

Influences and inspiration

I’m a soulful vocalist deeply inspired by powerful artists like Alicia Keys, Etta James, Adele, and Lady Gaga. Growing up, I was immersed in the music of Alicia Keys, Michael Jackson, Norah Jones, and Gaga. Each of them left a lasting imprint on the way I sing and connect with a song. I believe that dynamics are everything in music. It's not just about hitting the right notes; it's about feeling every moment, letting the music move you, and creating an experience that transports the audience beyond their seats. My goal is always to take people on a journey they can feel in their hearts.
