Learn More About Emily Graham
What makes you the Next Music Star?
I am the next music star because I have a unique brand and sound that will resonate with audiences of all ages. I have a clear visual identity and Hollywood makeup look that is one of a kind. I have manage all my own channels and even built my website from scratch (emilygrahamofficial.com) because I want a label to have to do as little as possible when they pick me up. Additionally, I have been writing songs since I was seven. I have pushed myself beyond my limits to make my writing as great as it can be. I will never stop writing because I cannot stop. I will keep writing and writing until my music reaches the spaces I know it deserves to be in. And even then, I will keep trying to outdo myself!
What do you love about music and performing?
I love the connection that comes through live performance. I love playing my originals and then having people approach me afterwards, telling me all about how my song reminded them of their own experiences. I think it is really beautiful how songs can be so individual yet so universal at the same time. My songs are about my own unique experiences. However, many people have told me they relate to them whenever I perform. This connection that I make on the stage is what makes all the hours spent writing in my bedroom absolutely worth it.
Who are your biggest music inspirations and dream collaborators?
I try to listen to all genres of music because I believe A. It makes you a very versatile writer and B. You can learn something from every genre. So, my influences range across many genres and decades. My biggest influences right now include Olivia Rodrigo, the Cure, the Cranberries, Paramore, Lana del Rey, Lady Gaga, Chappell Roan, Linkin Park, and the Beach Boys. My dream collaborator is Dan Nigro. I think he is a phenomenal producer and writer. I would love the chance to work with his genius in a studio setting at some point in my life!
What would you do with the $10,000 Grand Prize?
I would invest the 10,000$ prize right back into my music. I would use it to buy new gear, record more songs, or to help market/advertise my brand.
