In the fall of 2023, Emma was selected by Folk Music Ontario to showcase at their conference as a part of the prestigious Developing Artist Program. 

Drawing from both pop and folk influences, Emma’s music is largely inspired by artists such as Lizzy McAlpine, Jensen McRae, and Phoebe Bridgers. Her debut EP, Oh Emma, (produced by Michael Wojewoda) was released in 2022, and she is currently working on her debut album in collaboration with friend and producer Ben Heffernan.
