Em Rossi: Petaluma, California
Em Rossi, Singer-Songwriter
Petaluma, California

Raised in a Bay Area home filled with love, laughter, art, music and travel, Em Rossi enjoyed the support of her tight-knit family of four. She shared a special passion for music with her dad. Em’s dad, a talented amateur musician who also painted, drew and wrote in addition to being an innovative architect, was her spark plug. He encouraged his talented, but shy daughter as she began to navigate a professional career. Em began recording in the studio at age 14. One year later, as she was finishing her first set of songs, he suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. With her dad’s muse living inside her and her mom by her side, Em found the strength to begin again. She now fills her empty spaces with heartfelt lyrics and newfound emotion… with a voice that is stronger and more forceful than ever before. Producer Jim McGorman, known for his work with Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch, Kate Voegele, and Cassadee Pope, has been working with Em on her new self-titled debut album. Her compelling sound is equal parts Adele, Fiona Apple and The Fray. Fearless chords of Motown, blues and jazz resonate on this album, enriched with a fusion of live horns and strings. Jim says of his latest collaborator, “Em Rossi expresses a musical depth that is far beyond her seventeen years. She is a fearless artist, capable of taking you from melancholy to bliss in just over three minutes.”
