Emily Joy Green, known professionally as Emmi, is a talented British-Australian singer and songwriter whose career has rapidly ascended since her debut. Emmi began her musical journey in Australia, where she was signed to a music publisher and started writing songs for notable artists, including Neil Davidge of Massive Attack. Her debut single, “My Kinda Swag,” premiered in May 2015 to critical acclaim, with The Guardian praising it as a “delicate torch song” and Complex calling it a “stunning debut.” This early recognition set the stage for her burgeoning career.
In July 2015, Emmi released her second single, “Sleep on It,” which garnered significant attention, including a spot on Taylor Swift’s handwritten playlist of new songs. This endorsement highlighted Emmi’s growing influence in the pop music scene, and BuzzFeed later named the track one of the most underrated pop songs of the year. Her third single, “60 Minutes,” further solidified her presence in the industry, showcasing her unique sound and artistic vision.
Emmi’s collaborations have also been noteworthy, featuring prominently on dance tracks like “Blind” by Feder and “Our Youth” by Sonny Alven. Both singles achieved impressive chart success, with “Blind” peaking at number 5 in France and “Our Youth” being nominated for a Spellemannprisen, the Norwegian equivalent of the Grammy Awards. These collaborations have expanded her reach and demonstrated her versatility as an artist.
In addition to her singles, Emmi’s contribution to the film industry is remarkable. She was selected to perform “Blind Pig” for the soundtrack of the film “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” a project that showcased her talent to a global audience. Winning MTV Brand New for 2016 in Australia and New Zealand further established her as a rising star, and her philanthropic efforts, including raising funds for charity, reflect her commitment to making a positive impact. Emmi continues to captivate audiences with her artistry and is poised for even greater achievements in the future.
