Em Beihold
Mar 31, 2022
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Em Biehold is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and All-American fencing champion.
Music called to her at just six-years-old. She spent years taking piano lessons, learning classical and jazz. Simultaneously, she obsessed over favorite artists such as Regina Spektor. At her very first live show in 2016, director Michelle Schumacher enlisted Em to contribute a song to her film I’m Not Here, starring J.K. Simmons.
The song she wrote, “Not Who We Were”, also appeared on her debut EP, Infrared, a year later. In 2020, she launched her TikTok page. The chorus to “City Of Angels” reacted virally on the platform, translating to 5.6 million Spotify streams.
She maintained this momentum in 2021 with “Groundhog Day.” The initial teaser lit up social media with 20 million views and reached the Spotify Viral 50 in the U.S. and Philippines, surpassing 6.6 million Spotify streams.
Em Beihold sprinkles sunny melodies over sadness, sowing the seeds for pensive and powerful Pop. She turns moments of anxiety, doubt, and all the uncertainties of growing up into relatable and vital anthems uplifted by vulnerable performances and sky-scraping vocal dynamics.
