Emily Best

Emily Best is a singer-songwriter, composer, accompanist and solo performer from Vancouver, BC. With a background in jazz piano and classical voice, she draws inspiration from percussive, orchestral New Orleans-style piano and Jeff Buckley’s dynamic upper vocal range, to the intricate rhythmic stylings of Joanna Newsom and rich textures of Patrick Watson. Spanning a broad range of genres that blend indie-pop, soul, elements of jazz and progressive rock, Emily’s music explores the human condition with a raw sincerity. In recent years, she has been experimenting with found-sounds and extended technique in her composing.
