Todd : Do you have any other inspirations or reasons for your music ?
Emily : I Like Attention , so I guess that ’ s part of it . ( laughing !)
Todd : Do you perform in Public ?
Emily : Yes , I perform mostly on the Seattle club scene ; local pubs and wineries . I have also played the Moore Theater on my cello , and I am looking forward to playing there again sometime as a singer .
Todd : Where are you most comfortable performing and why ?
Emily : I started playing music when I was in fourth grade , and I was really excited about a cool weird instrument the Cello .
Todd : Can you give us a breakdown of your musical history ?
Emily : I mentioned the cello , I tried to play Jazz on it , but that didn ’ t work out because the cello isn ’ t really traditionally a jazz instrument . “ I wrote my first composition on the cello around age 16 or 17 .” Spoken Word became my interest around my late teens to early twenties , lending way to my becoming a lyricist … you know like a rapper , I describe it as Rhythmic use of language ! My first song was a break up song , it featured yours truly on guitar and vocals . It wasn ’ t very good , but came from my genuine life experience . Native American activist , Anna-Mae Micmac ( wikipedia . org / wiki / Anna _ Mae _ Aquash ) really sparked my creativity and was the inspiration for my Second or Third Song !
