Emily Ott

Emily Ott didn't learn to speak her truth - she learnt to sing it.

Growing up in Ontario, Canada, Emily struggled to articulate her inner world in the way most people take for granted. Conversation felt like a wall she couldn't climb. But music was a door left open. Immersing herself in artists who spoke the unspeakable, she discovered something that would define her entire creative life: that vulnerability and honesty have the power to make people feel less alone. That principle sits at the heart of everything she makes. A self-described indie folk/rock singer-songwriter, Emily writes with the kind of unflinching honesty that feels rare even in a genre that prizes it. Her songs navigate the weight of mental illness not as a backdrop, but as the main character - messy, unresolved, and deeply human. For Emily Ott, every song is a hand extended in the dark - proof that whatever you're carrying, someone else has carried it too.
