Emelie Trahan is a Swedish-American singer-songwriter whose music blends the intimacy of indie-folk with the emotional pull of modern pop. She grew up in a small Austrian town before moving to Vienna and later Stockholm — a journey that shaped her unique sense of identity and belonging, which runs through all her songs.
Rooted in a background of musical theatre and folk Emelie was deeply influenced by her father’s love for country and jazz and her mother’s musical family. Her sound draws inspiration from timeless icons like Mazzy Star, Alanis Morissette, Norah Jones, Elliott Smith, Coldplay, Nick Drake, and Radiohead — artists who taught her that authenticity and vulnerability are the most powerful artistic tools.
Emelie’s artistic vision is clear: to create music that feels raw, cinematic and deeply human. Her songs explore belonging, self-acceptance and emotional resilience — all wrapped in a soundscape that balances melancholy and light; that feel both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Authentic, soulful and resilient.
