Emily Rath, singer/songwriter originally from the Bay Area, began singing when she was only 3 years old. Growing up with a talented musical father who encouraged her love for singing, she participated in musicals, chorus and a cappella groups all throughout her childhood and young adult years. Emily started taking piano lessons in elementary school and by 16, she began writing her own music and performing originals at small venues, festivals, showcases and the like. Emily has opened for musicians such as Jason Reeves, Tyler Ward, Delta Rae and Lissie. She was a member of a cappella groups in high school and college for 6 consecutive years, during which one of her originals won "best song" at one of the final competitions. After graduating from UC Santa Barbara, she entered into several West Coast Songwriter competitions where she went on to win two ‘Best Performance’ Awards and one ‘Best Song’ Award in separate Bay Area chapters of the organization. She recorded an EP of some of her original music in the Spring of 2012, which featured virtuoso guitar player Miles Schon, son of Journey's Neal Schon. She’s been featured on Bay Area's renowned radio station KFOG 104.5 as well as Bay Area’s local TV Channel 22, KRCB. In 2014, Emily moved to LA and started collaborating with several different Grammy-nominated producers. She has diligently worked on her songwriting over the years and has an adept understanding of song structure and melody. She self-released a single and music video in 2018 entitled “Can’t Say No,” which is available on all streaming platforms. Over 2 years ago she started collaborating with guitarist Kyle Mortensen and original bassist from the band Incubus, Dirk Lance, on original music. They have since formed a new band called East of June, which debuted fall of 2019. They have so far released 5 singles (available everywhere), 3 music videos and will be releasing more music throughout the end of this year.
