Emily Braden: Soul for the people

Published on: 28th January, 2021

Emily Braden and Darrian Douglas discuss the importance of soulfulness and growth.

BIO 

With a new album currently in the works, vocalist Emily Braden electrifies NYC and international audiences with her fresh, soulful sound and striking stage presence.  Winner of New York City's 'Best of the Best' Jazzmobile Vocal Competition, this Idaho-born, Harlem-based vocalist keeps her feet firmly planted in the straight ahead tradition while fearlessly exploring the range and nuance of the human voice. Her original music, co-created with producer and pianist Misha Piatigorsky, blends heavy grooves and carefully-crafted lyrics with soaring vocals and off-the-cuff bilingual improvisations. Before the COVID-19 global pandemic, Braden toured regularly and could be seen every first Friday at NYC’s famed 55 Bar. See her live and she’ll make you a believer. The official video for “Strength of Love," the first single from the upcoming album, was released on YouTube on June 5, 2020. 

Currently mixing a new album. Folks can connect via IG (@songbody) or FB artist page under my name.
