"Saving the world one song at a time" - through the music I write and perform, but most importantly through the music I coach young people to write and perform as they learn how to unlock the power of their voices.
About the Artist
Emma G is a singer-songwriter, keynote speaker, and empowerment coach whose work sits at the intersection of music, mental health, leadership, and creative resilience. A two-time TEDx speaker and the #1 bestselling author of Mental Health Sounds Like This: A Creative Blueprint for Healing, Mindfulness, and Self-Discovery Through Music, Emma is known for integrating live music with emotionally intelligent storytelling to create experiences that resonate deeply — and last. Her work centers on one core belief: your voice matters. After navigating complex medical challenges early in life, Emma built a career grounded not in performance, but in presence. Music became both her language and her lens — a way to understand resilience, identity, and emotional truth. Today, she brings that perspective to stages, classrooms, organizations, and communities across the U.S. and internationally. Through her Empowerment Through Songwriting and Vocal Coaching programs, Emma works with teens, adults, and high-functioning professionals to support emotional regulation, confidence, communication, and authentic self-expression. Her approach is trauma-informed, creative, and grounded in lived experience. As a keynote speaker, Emma blends original music with practical insight to address topics including resilience under pressure, mental health literacy, leadership, inclusion, and sustainable performance. Her speaking engagements include TEDx Rockville (two-time speaker), NACHA, CEW Conference, BUZZ Conference, Carolinas Key Club, and organizations across education, healthcare, and nonprofit sectors. As a recording artist, Emma has performed at venues and events including The Kennedy Center, Rockwood Music Hall (NYC), the National Cherry Blossom Festival, and on a 20-city Youth Empowerment Tour with Hard Rock Café. Her music blends pop, soul, and rock with socially conscious storytelling, exploring themes of resilience, justice, and emotional honesty. Emma’s work has been featured by major media outlets including The Washington Post, NPR, CBS, FOX, ABC News, CBC, PBS, WUSA9, Voice of America, Medium, Brainz Magazine, and international publications. Across every medium — coaching, speaking, and music — Emma’s mission remains consistent: to help people reclaim their voice, reconnect with themselves, and choose not to let the world write their song. “Music has always been medicine for singer-songwriter Emma G.” — The Washington Post “Emma G includes a message of love, vulnerability, empowerment, and strength in her music.” — WUSA9 “Using music to empower people, inspire people to own their awkwardness, and fall in love with themselves again.” — Medium “You are no doubt touching many lives… The way you spread messages of self-acceptance and self-love through music is truly inspiring.” — When Women Inspire commentary about Emma G “Mental Health Sounds Like This introduces a new model: one that empowers individuals to process trauma and build resilience using songwriting, breathwork, and vocal expression.” — Muzic.nz news piece on Mental Health Sounds Like This [the book and accompanying album]Arts in Education
