Emily Hearn

Emily Hearn grew up in Los Angeles, where she started writing songs as a teenager. One of those early songs was 'Volcano,' which she wrote during her adolescence. It became a notable track for her, released in 2009, with lyrics that touched on personal struggles like depression and self-harm. Some listeners found it too raw, but others connected with its vulnerability.

Her debut album was called 'Lost and Found,' and she followed it with records like 'We've Got This,' 'Timebom,' and 'Courageous.' Songs such as 'Waking Up Again' and 'Paris, Or Wherever We Are' show her leaning into themes of resilience and everyday connection. She's worked with producers Greg Kurstin and Jacquire King, and her live band has included guitarist David Ryan Harris, bassist Andrew Ripp, and drummer Josh Freese.

Hearn's writing tends to stay close to the ground, songs about cutting ties, finding small comforts, or sitting under an oak tree. There's no grand arc in her music, just a steady attention to the details that accumulate into a life.
