About Emily

Hi there! I’m Emily, a singer, dancer, actor, and multi-instrumentalist from central New Jersey. If you need someone versatile in both music and theatre, I’m your girl! Whether I’m on stage in the cast of a musical, in the pit, or singing a killer rock set, I bring a balance of energy and groundedness to all of my work.

Currently, I am a senior at Wagner College pursuing a degree in Theatre Performance with a minor in music. You can find me playing gigs at venues and quaint coffee shops, playing solo sets or accompanying bands on the guitar and bass. Some favorites include playing at the The Cutting Room, Starland Ballroom, The Green Room 42, and the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame Summer Stage. I am also a proud member of the Maestra community, a directory of female musicians in the musical theatre industry.

Outside of the arts, I enjoy spending rainy days knitting or reading a good book. There is a good chance I am listening to either Led Zeppelin or Frank Zappa right now.
