Emily Wells was born in Virginia in 1981 and started writing melodies on piano early on. Her debut album 'Sympathetic Nervous System' came out in 2006, followed by 'The Symphonies' in 2008. She's released several albums since, including 'Mama' in 2012, 'Solastalgia' in 2016, and 'What Takes You' in 2020.
Her songs like 'Becomes The Color' and 'Fire Song' show her approach to writing, where she handles most of the songwriting and vocals herself but often works with other musicians. She's been open about dealing with mental health issues and has spoken about sexism in the music industry.
Wells writes and performs as a multi-instrumentalist, creating music that draws from different influences without settling into one category. Tracks such as 'Mama's Gonna Give You Love' and '1000 Years War' reflect her style, which avoids easy classification.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
