Emily Joy Green, known by her stage name Emmi, is a British / Australian singer and songwriter.
Emily Green was born in Devon, the middle child of an older brother and a younger sister. The daughter of a pilot, she travelled extensively as a very young child, living in far flung places such as Papua New Guinea and Alice Springs. Moving school nine times before settling in Perth, Australia, Emmi got used to feeling like the outsider and began to focus on her love of dancing, and left home at the age of 16 to study dance full time in Sydney.
Green began her musical career after being signed to a music publisher in Australia, writing songs for Neil Davidge of Massive Attack and Little Nikki.
Green's debut single 'My Kinda Swag' premiered on The Guardian in May 2015, who described it as "delicate torch song... [with a] metronomic electronic pulse.” as well as a ”cracking debut" and the "highlight of 2015 so far". Tobi Oke of Complex (magazine) also described 'My Kinda Swag' as a "stunning debut single". In July 2015, Emmi's second single 'Sleep On It' was premiered by The 405.
American singer Taylor Swift included Emmi's single 'Sleep On It' in her handwritten playlist 'New Songs That Will Make Your Life More Awesome’, alongside Alessia Cara, Hailee Steinfeld and M.I.A.Buzzfeed's Kyle Davis later named 'Sleep On It' as one of "The 30 Most Criminally Underrated Pop Songs Of 2015".
In October 2015, Emmi released third single '60 Minutes’, on Billboard.
