Influences
Many of Emily's musical influences growing up as a young Singer, Model, Actress Wanna-Be were 80's Pop Artists.

In junior high school Emily auditioned and made it into Kirkland Jr. High School's Select Jazz Choir. It was there that Music Teacher Lehua Pischke not only acknowledged Emily's beautiful singing voice & stage presence, but even more, recognized Emily's ability to sing jazz and improvise or "scat". After 2 years of Jazz Choir and countless scat solos under her belt, she met an even bigger influence her Junior year, her high school sweetheart Dion McIntosh who was with R&B Trio Simply Smooth. He also recognized her great potential and took Emily under his wing, acting as a Voice Coach and Musical Mentor, teaching this budding singer everything he knew about singing and the Music Biz. It was Dion that urged and helped her to write her own original songs and played a major role in developing Emily as a well rounded Artist. They collaborated, writing songs, arranging and recording music in their studio, and occasionally performed together from 1992 through the end of 2006 until parting ways. Some of her more recent influences were College Professors at Cornish College of the Arts including Jay Clayton, Beth Winter, Louise Marley, Ellen McClain, Jim Knapp, Randy Halberstadt, Hadley Calliman and Jovino Santos Neto.
