Emily Martinez
Artist Bio
I am a 28 years old Venezuelan singer songwriter, aspiring author and teacher. I am an immigrant that has lived more than half of my life within the borders of four different countries. I am a mix of culture, ideas and influences. I've learned to adapt and re-create myself given a situation. I have learned different definitions of passion, change and community. As a queer latina woman,I have learned different ways to show and receive love from the ones around me. All of this has directly affected my art, as it is often a reflection of my most inner thoughts and emotions. I am a singer songwriter that like many of my generation started playing guitar with youtube tutorials, and began writing songs once an unrequited love came along. I began playing in my room, then moved to the bar around the corner from my university, then subsequently to higher end restaurants and street festivals. I created and participated in bands and groups that played in corporate parties, recorded live sessions and got invited to participate in people's most special days, something that I personally see as my dearest musical accomplishments to date. I am a storyteller with a craving to share, as well as give a space to others to be able to experience the full potential of their own personal stories.
