EMM
High-octane alternative pop with a sharp industrial edge. Bold, self-produced anthems for reclaiming power and embracing the darker side of the diamond.

EMM creates music that feels like a polished chrome blade: sharp, reflective, and undeniably modern. Her sound is a collision of top-tier pop sensibilities and a gritty, industrial undercurrent that refuses to play nice. It is the sound of a classically trained musician tearing up the rulebook to build something more visceral, characterized by massive synth walls and percussion that hits with the weight of a physical blow.
What truly sets her apart is the sheer density of her self-produced arrangements. Unlike many of her contemporaries, EMM handles every aspect of the technical process, resulting in a cohesive 'one-brain' sound where the vocal processing and the beat are perfectly symbiotic. There is a sense of controlled chaos in her work, where operatic vocal power meets glitchy, digital textures and unapologetic lyrical themes.
New listeners should dive into EMERALD to hear the foundation of her dark-pop empire. It serves as the perfect entry point for those who want pop music with more teeth, blending high-stakes emotional delivery with production that feels like it was forged in a high-tech underground bunker.
Emma “EMM” Norris is an American alternative-pop singer, songwriter, producer, and content creator based in Los Angeles. She released a full-length album, Burning in the Dark which she created in its entirety from start to finish, including writing, producing, performing, mixing and mastering. Curve described EMM, saying, "She is the definition of a thriving independent artist: calling all the shots in her own career, making her visions come to life, having a hand in every sonic choice and every melody you hear, betting on herself, and standing up for what she believes in most. Impossible to control, and impossible to contain, EMM is a force." Additionally, EMM was featured in USA Today and Business Wire for her involvement in the social media app Flipagram (now known as Vigo Video).
