Award-Winning Creative Entrepreneur

About

Emily E. Finke is a prodigious and multi-award-winning musician and creative
entrepreneur carving her own path in the world of entertainment. She has garnered accomplishments in the music industry alone spanning from performing at Carnegie Hall and Sydney Opera House to recording and releasing music with credits as lyricist, composer, arranger, vocalist, producer, tracking engineer, mixing engineer, and publisher to winning a coveted award from the International Singer-Songwriters Association (ISSA). Emily’s rich, mezzo-soprano voice has ben touted as the most beautiful voice of the 21st century. Coupled with her captivating personality, industrious productivity, and visionary passion, Emily is a dynamite, indie creative on track to leave a legacy that will not soon be forgotten.

With an innate love for the world of live entertainment, Emily began her musical
journey at the young age of 6 when she began learning guitar followed by the violin, piano, voice, and viola. She is currently learning to play bass guitar and drums, and she also boasts experience in acting, modeling, videography, marketing, writing, directing, and graphic design. Though music has been a central part of Emily’s life, it wasn’t until her mid teens that she discovered her passion for singing. Through studying voice and Baroque music with renowned vocal coach, Craig Wich, Emily discovered her unique voice and passion for expressing herself that inspired her songwriting and arranging journey. Emily has now written and/or arranged over 100 original songs which she
continues to record and release.

In addition to running her music business and releasing songs through her record
label, Ashes and Embers Records, Emily also actively pursues performances to share not only her original music but also her deep love of the popular music of the late 19th- and early 20-century in an effort to revive the spirit of high quality, family-friendly entertainment in her own unique style. She also currently performs and records with a four-piece band called DOUBLE TROUBLE X2 playing classic country and rock favorites. Emily is inspired by all music and entertainment and does not confine herself to any particular genre or style. Simply put, Emily is dedicated to her art and expressing herself through creativity while not letting the world's and industry's standards define her or her music.

Emily believes that her many talents are a blessing and gift from God and, as such, are unequivocally dedicated to Him. Her whole life, Emily has felt called to be a revolutionary, to blaze a trail unlike any before. To Emily, success is not measured in wealth or fame, but in the opportunities she has been given to share her gifts and inspire others. To make a difference in the world by sharing the Gospel, spreading positivity and love, and reflecting the Light of Christ would be considered the ultimate success.
