Emma Lee on her music:

“Music has always been a very personal thing for me. I’m not one of those people who was always out jamming or collaborating with friends. It is definitely my emotional outlet. When I first picked up a guitar, I was in desperate need of one. I was at a turning point in my life at that time and was doing a lot of soul searching. I picked up a guitar on a whim just looking for a hobby really. It ended up completely changing my life for the better. I think I actually got to know myself through my writing. Being that my songs were so personal, it took me a long time to be able to sing them confidently in front of others. But when I did, I fell in love with that feeling. Being such an introvert, for me to say everything I want in a room full of people felt very freeing. I think I’m more comfortable singing about my feelings than I am talking about them.”

“In my more recent writing I’ve been trying to tap into my lighter side. Being in San Diego definitely makes that easier. Before, I never felt connected enough to my happier songs. Living here, though, at the risk of sounding cheesy, I’ve found that there really is just something about this place. I’ve been able to write more light-hearted songs and really feel that way at the same time, which is new and exciting for me.”

Emma Lee is currently working on her debut EP that is due out in the spring of 2012. The EP is slated to feature a variety of her older and new music.
