I write and perform music that tells the truth.

Not to provoke or perform pain — but to create connection. And leave people feeling more grounded, more seen, and heard.

My music blends pop, soul, and rock with lyrical storytelling that explores resilience, identity, mental health, justice, and emotional honesty. These are songs for people who feel deeply, think critically, and want art that means something.

This is music with a message.

Music with a message.

Music has never been background noise for me. It’s been a way to listen — to what’s happening beneath the surface.

Every song I write is rooted in one guiding belief:

“Don’t let the world write your song.”

In a world that’s constantly telling us who to be, how to act, and what labels to accept, these songs are an invitation to come back to yourself — to feel, reflect, and choose your own voice.

Selected Songs

Rather than chasing trends, my catalog centers on themes that last.

  • “Be Brave” – A powerful anthem of emotional resilience.
  • “I Am” – A declaration of self-love and positive self-talk.
  • “Living Proof” – A call to mindfulness and presence in the face of adversity.
  • “Superhero” – An anti-racism anthem that inspires compassion, empathy, and love as the true superpowers we all share.
  • “Save You From Yourself” – A reminder that healing and change begin with self-awareness and choice.

The music behind the book.

Many of these songs are part of a larger body of work connected to my #1 bestselling book Mental Health Sounds Like This.

The book and the music were created in conversation with one another — the songs giving voice to the themes explored on the page: emotional honesty, resilience, self-trust, and the quiet work of staying human.

Some experiences are better explained. Others are better sung.

Together, the music and the book offer different ways in — for listeners, readers, and anyone navigating their own inner landscape.

Live performance is where this work comes fully alive.

Whether it’s an intimate listening room, a corporate event, a festival stage, or a private celebration — each show is designed to create connection.

Emma performs a mix of original music and curated covers — always tailored to the room, the audience, and the moment.

  • The Kennedy Center, 2026
  • National Cherry Blossom Festival, 2018
  • Union Stage, Washington DC, 2025

Book Emma G for your event.

Emma performs solo, duo, and trio configurations — adaptable to the size, tone, and needs of your event.

Available for corporate events, private member clubs, curated listening rooms, arts venues, festivals, private celebrations, and community showcases.

Emma also invites select coaching clients into the studio with her during recording sessions — giving them a real, professional creative experience alongside a working artist.

Some stories are meant to be sung.

I create custom and commissioned songs for organizations, campaigns, and individuals who want to mark a moment, carry a message, or give voice to something that matters.

This work is collaborative, intentional, and built to last — not just to be heard once, but to be returned to.

If you’re looking for a song that reflects your values — not just your brand — let’s talk.

What people say about Emma G live.

“Emma was a guest and one of the hosts of my live show for my talk series "Pain to Power" in January 2025. Every time I have worked with her she is both professional and personable. Her attention to knowing her clients and building a relationship comes through in the care and thoughtfulness for how she approaches her shows. She shared her music and her story with my audience engaging the group and providing entertainment with a purpose and message. She is a brilliant artist and storyteller who takes her business and work seriously. I can't wait for more projects to collaborate with Emma G.”
Marya Hay
Host of Pain to Power
“My family and I had the pleasure of hearing Emma G play while she was touring with Hard Rock Cafe. Not only is Emma a very talented singer and songwriter, but she is also an amazing person. We actually got to see her perform two nights in a row in two different cities and were able to spend a little time with her. If you ever have the chance to listen, watch or have your children work with Emma G., don't pass it up. She is a treasure!”
Jenna Meek
“Emma G is wonderful! She does an amazing job performing at CUT DC, plays a wide variety of music, and delights our guests by playing their requests as well. Her positivity, spirit, and attitude are unparalleled, and her music is fantastic!”
