Em Beihold is a singer-songwriter whose music explores identity, emotion, and self-discovery. After years of independent releases and building an early online fanbase, she broke through in 2022 with “Numb Little Bug,” a single inspired by her experience taking antidepressants that reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned platinum status. The song opened the door to late-night television performances, collaborations, and extensive touring, marking a major turning point in her career. Her debut album, Tales of a Failed Shapeshifter, out February 27th, captures a period of creative reflection and growth. Written in part during outpatient therapy and shaped by a return to the artists who first inspired her songwriting, the album looks at themes of comparison, co-dependency, and the many roles people try to inhabit. Balancing honesty with levity, the project reflects Beihold’s growing confidence in her voice and a belief that difficult moments can give way to clarity.
