Canadian-born singer-songwriter Emi Jeen has been making waves in the alt-pop scene since launching her solo career in 2019. Known for her magnetic energy on stage and raw, emotional storytelling, she seamlessly blends alt-pop aesthetics with powerful, anthemic melodies. Her music explores the complexities of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery, drawing from diverse influences spanning the great female voices of the industry and the iconic sounds of ‘90s and early 2000s pop-rock.
As an independent artist, Emi Jeen has captured international attention with the release of five EPs: The Other Side, Why So Serious, Terrible Perfect Timing, Razzle, and Dazzle. These projects feature standout hits such as “Dancing in the Living Room,” “Should We,” “Heart Attack,” and “Hurt U.” Her emotionally charged songwriting and magnetic performances have resonated deeply with fans, leading to viral success—one of her videos amassed over 17 million views on TikTok, further propelling her reach.
In 2024, Emi Jeen embarked on an ambitious 55-show tour across the United States, Canada, Europe, and the UK, sharing the stage with Kelsy Karter & The Heroines and Charlotte Sands. The experience solidified her reputation as a dynamic live performer, captivating audiences with her powerful vocals and electrifying energy.
Her momentum continued in 2025 with a major career milestone: performing at Osheaga, one of Canada’s biggest music festivals, and receiving a Juno Award nomination for “Should We”—a testament to her impact on the alt-pop scene.
Now entering an exciting new chapter, Emi Jeen released her latest project, Razzle Dazzle, on August 8, 2024. This bold evolution showcases her growing confidence, blending ’90s pop-rock nostalgia with raw vulnerability, offering a glimpse into what fans can expect from her upcoming releases.
Looking ahead, Emi Jeen is currently working on her highly anticipated debut album, set for release in early 2026. This milestone project will be a defining moment in her career, merging her signature alt-pop style with fearless new sonic explorations and deeply personal storytelling.
