Smashing out her last year of high school in Auckland, New Zealand in 2024 - a year ahead of schedule- 18-year-old singer-songwriter Emerson is a pop artist who connects deeply with her teenaged fan base.
The Rockquest Solo-Duo winner (2024) is off to a great start with her first release of 2025 “You Really Must Hate Me!” which debuted in the #10 spot on the official Aotearoa Hot 20 Singles Chart in February. It has since garnered international attention with four Spotify Editorial playlist placements, including *hits different*, Pop n’ Fresh and Fresh Finds Pop.
Her first single, Bored, reached #16 on Aotearoa’s Hot 20 chart, and won ZM’s Best Song at last year’s Rockquest National final.
Emerson has quickly launched herself into the upper ranks of New Zealand’s rising pop artists, with support slots for Bella Rafflyn, Will Swinton and Frankie Venter.
A sought-after songwriter, Emerson has co-written songs with local artists such as Frankie Venter (“I Like it Like That”), Teo Glacier, Keenan Te, Macey, and Rosetta.
Her latest single “I Want You to Know Me” and upcoming single “Tip of My Tongue” are both supported by NZ on Air New Music grants.
