Born in Kyoto, Japan, Emi Meyer grew up in Seattle, Washington. Having studied jazz and classical piano since the age of six, Emi began her musical career at the keyboard. She self-produced her first album, Curious Creature, in 2007. Never afraid to experiment and take matters in her own hands, she is paving a path between Los Angeles and Tokyo while finishing a degree in Ethnomusicology. Her next English and Japanese albums are set for release in 2009.
"Emi Meyer is carving out her own uniquely soulful and melodic style of songwriting. She clearly has her own voice as a singer/songwriter. I for one impatiently anticipate what the future holds for her."
—Larry Goldings, Pianist / Composer
"Emi Meyer's debut album Curious Creature gives lovers of music something to look forward to for years to come. With a voice that belies her youth, Emi's songs are wrought with thoughtfulness. She's quickly become one of my favorite new artists."
