EMER is an award-winning violinist, composer, and creative director blending classical string virtuosity with electronic production, cinematic textures, and immersive storytelling. Known for her atmospheric, genre-defying sound, she channels the emotive depth of artists like Ólafur Arnalds, RY X, and Clint Mansell, while crafting hypnotic live experiences that merge reactive visuals, movement, and electronics woven into deep, melodic, and cinematic sets.
With performances spanning the Kirk Douglas Theatre, The Culver Steps, TEDx, Los Angeles Fashion Week, and SXSW, EMER creates sonic landscapes that transform unconventional spaces into living soundscapes — blurring the line between audience and stage. As Artistic Director of Emersion Music, she produces sold-out immersive concert programs throughout Los Angeles. Her debut album Concurrence explores themes of connection, movement, and transformation.
EMER has composed music for Netflix (Sense8), Hulu (American Horror Stories), Paramount+, and NatGeo, and is featured on songs written by legendary songwriter Diane Warren. A voting member of the GRAMMYs® Recording Academy, her honors include the Venice Film Festival Best Score Award, the Culver City/Sony Pictures Performing Arts Grant (2022–2026), and the SESAC/New Music USA Reel Change Film Fund Award. Originally from Dublin and a violinist since the age of two, EMER trained in Dublin, London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Vienna, and Chicago, and is now based in Los Angeles.
"A soundtrack for a film happening on the screen behind the listener's eyes."
Music Connection"Her violin is not just an instrument — it's a narrator, pulling listeners into a journey of tension, healing, and transformation."
JW Vibe"This is music for those who live between worlds — for the dreamers, the seekers, the ones still learning to reconcile their shadow with their light."
Austin Sher, We Write About Music"EMER constructs a sonic landscape that's both intimate and expansive, blending contemporary classical textures, cinematic electronics, and ethereal vocals into one cohesive, immersive experience."
