  • Bio

    I am 16 years old, and I will be a senior in high school this fall (10). Though I have been playing piano for five years, it was only 2 years ago that I decided I wanted to write my own music. Although I grew up listening to "THE BEATLES" and "THE GOO GOO DOLLS", My biggest influence has been GAVIN DEGRAW ! Like most children, I used to dream of being onstage, singing and performing. Unlike most kids, I am following through with my dream and embracing the music I love. I have written nearly 30 songs some of which were recorded on my debut CD "HALL OF MIRRORS" which was released July 18th, 2009. The CD was recorded, mixed and edited by James Wunderlich of Orbital Sound in Hamilton, NY. Jim did a masterful job of recording, mixing & editing, and I encourage all local artists to consider Orbital Sound for their recording projects as well. In the meantime, I anticipate I will be performing locally at all the open mic nites, FIREWORKS OVER UTICA (Aug. 22nd, 2009),UTICA MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL (Sept. 2009), as well as SKYWAY FESTIVAL in Hamilton (Sept. 2009). The times, and actual venues TBA....keep checking back for more info !

    Little Girl, Big Voice - review by Margo Frink @ Madison County Courier. (11/05/09)


    I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve never been to the Barge Canal Coffee Co. in Hamilton, so, when Emilee Smith’s father, AJ, asked me to drop in and hear Emilee perform there recently, I thought, why not? I’m not a music critic by any stretch of the imagination. But I know what I like and I own a diverse collection from many genres.
    As I was grabbing a cup of coffee and a sweet, Emilee had begun. I had my back to her as I listened and to me she sounded a bit like Natalie Merchant with soul. But her voice is much bigger than that, a deep, sultry alto.
    Just 15 years old, Emilee said she picked the guitar up last year. She started with three songs on guitar, one inspired by the Goo Goo Dolls. She played very well for someone who just began a year ago.
    Emilee’s real love is the piano and when she started I could tell she felt at home at the keyboard. She told me later that she began playing piano four years ago and immediately started writing songs. I was shocked. I know people who have played piano for decades and do not play that well.
    The first time Emilee got up in front of an audience she was in sixth grade. She began performing in front of crowds last year, when she was just 14, and this summer Emilee performed at Hamilton’s Skyway Fest, The Utica Boilermaker, the Utica Music and Arts Fest, and was the opening act for rock legends Blue Oyster Cult at Fireworks Over Utica.
    Emilee writes her own music and lyrics and what I was most impressed by is that she has all of her own pieces memorized.
    Although we are years apart, we share something in common. When she said her favorite artist was Gavin DeGraw and thought most of the audience wouldn’t know him, I chuckled because Gavin DeGraw is also my favorite artist. She played one of my favorite songs by him, “Reason” and I

    Hey Em, Thanks for adding this page too . It's funny that you have Carole King as your top friend. Morgen said you remind her so much of Carole..(and a bit of Fiona too).
    Really Rosie is her favorite CD ever lol

    Let us know if we can ever do anything in our power to help you along in your career. We  give artists free mixes of their tracks from time to time and try to promote them when we believe in their talent.

    Being that you got burned by the Write4Kids too, we'd love to have you on our Podcast next week!
