My name’s Emma, I’m a Naarm based musician with a neuro-spicy brain and an addiction to writing cathartic songs. I’ve been described as having a folk meets indie rock vibe and I describe myself as your next favourite indie musician. I’ve just released my latest track Lonely Lover (who knew you could turn loneliness into a banger).
Here’s my top five Melbourne artists you need to know about…
1. Amy Flight
Amy is one of my all times, I think I’ve probably been to almost every gig she’s played. I’ve seen her creativity behind the scenes when she was my bassist and I’ve probably cried to her songs more times than I can count (in a super welcome cathartic way).

2. Seb Szabo
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Seb Szabo live several times and he never fails to make me laugh with his anecdotes
and dance with his music. I know he’s got a bunch of top notch unreleased songs in the works right now which are going to be killer.

3. Stimpies
I met Stimpies doing a radio interview with them and had such a great time. They’ve just put out an album and I was lucky enough to get an acoustic performance from them on air and being blown away by their music in such different contexts really showed how versatile they are.

4. Paisley Lace
My feet are always sore in the best possible way after seeing Paisley Lace live, their energy is infectious and their songs impossible not to boogie to. Their whole band has some of the best stage presence I’ve seen and their chemistry (and music) is unmatched.

5. R.em.edy
One of my fellow ADHD queens, R.em.edy is a pop goddess with buckets of attitude and some of the catchiest hooks going around. Not only is she a songwriter and artist but also a producer, and we love female producers in this house.
