With her dripping vocals, colorful lyrics, and slicing wit, viral alt-pop artist Emei has rapidly built up a fan base over the past year. Leaning on over a decade of stage experience, Emei invites audiences into her world, leading them through her hyper-relatable musings on young adult life. Even before Emei started writing, she developed an incredible stage presence from her experience competing on Chinese Idol at 15. After receiving third place on the show through months of stadium shows, Emei began releasing her music on Chinese platforms eventually performing on Dancing with the Stars of China.
When Covid hit, Emei started releasing new music on American platforms, gaining media coverage on several platforms. Emei’s single, “Late to the Party” hit 6M streams after videos of her performing the song live hit a collective 10M views on TikTok and Instagram Reels. Her 2023 Single “Scatterbrain” has racked up 15m streams since its release in February and was featured on 15 NMFs internationally, received airplay on BBC Radio 1’s Future Pop show, and was selected as “Poppest Record Of The Week”.
The follow-up “Irresponsible”, was featured on NMF USA, JAPAN and CANADA, Planet Rave, Pop Sauce, and more. It was also selected by BBC Radio 1 as “Poppest Record Of The Week”, and received spins on Jack Saunder’s Future Artists show. The song has passed 5 million streams since its release (5.26). Most recently, Emei sold out her first-ever headline shows in London on July 20th and 21st.
Emei will release two singles ahead of her EP and a first headline tour in fall 2023, including the just released “Don’t Know About The World”, a song about feeling safe and finding solace in that one person (or space or thing).
