Author: Emily Curnutte

Emily has been a professional performer in New York City for the last 14 years, having sung in opera, recital, cabaret, musical theater, and rock venues throughout the boroughs. She recently won the Bronze medal in the “American Traditions Vocal Competition”. Emily has gained notoriety as a songwriter with her band, Emily Danger, touring across the United States and Canada and playing various festivals such as South by Southwest, CMJ, and Meadows Festival. Her music has been featured in V Magazine (“The Rebel Issue”), Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls, Death + Taxes, and her original song “War Torn” was featured in a fashion video starring Gigi Hadid and directed by Inez+Vinoodh in The Wall Street Journal. V Magazine stated about Emily’s voice, “Be forewarned, this opera trained indie musician’s honed howl is going to blow your mind.” Bitch Media states, “…(her voice) reverberates in and deep, more radiation through bone than sound waves through air. An artist separating herself from a couple of well-defined institutions and entering an inchoate, unknown territory of her own design.” Emily’s greatest joy is working as a music therapist. Her thesis, “How Singing Helped Me Heal” was recently included in a research panel presented by the American Music Therapy Association and will be presented at the Mid Atlantic Region AMTA Conference this April. She enjoys working with singers (and non-singers alike) who have suffered artistic wounds and trauma. Her holistic voice studio combines vocal technique with music therapy to encourage emotional healing through music. Emily is a graduate of the Manhattan School of Music (MM, classical voice) and SUNY New Paltz (MS, music therapy).
