Emmaline
Though still in the early stages of her blossoming career, 26-year-old vocalist, violinist and songwriter, Emma Campbell, who performs under the artist name Emmaline, has accomplished an impressive laundry list of achievements so far. From being featured in top music publications such as Rolling Stone and American Songwriter to performing as the opening act for 10-time GRAMMY winner Chaka Khan on her first ever U.S. tour this Nashville based, independent artist captivates the hearts of all who hear her smoky, jazz-infused, genre-fluid voice.
On April 14, 2023, Emmaline made her silver screen debut in over 1,200 movie theaters across the country in the motion picture “Sweetwater.” Portraying the role of Jeanne Staples, an up-and-coming jazz singer, Emmaline appeared alongside a star-studded cast of acting legends like Richard Dreyfuss, Cary Elwes and Jeremy Piven. Emmaline’s voice can be heard throughout the “Sweetwater” movie soundtrack, singing authentic renditions of old classics such as “It Had to Be You,” “The Man I Love” and "Down Home Blues," a soulful duet with 4-time GRAMMY winning blues artist, Gary Clark Jr.
Using the power of social media, Emmaline kick-started her career in 2018 by sharing acoustic covers of popular songs and original material to her social media platforms (@emmalineofficial) where she now boasts a passionately loyal fan base of nearly 500k followers. Emmaline shines on stage whether online or in person, and has performed countless sold-out shows at some of the country’s most notable jazz clubs, music venues and festivals.
