Emerging singer-songwriter Emma Smalley is quickly making her mark with her heartfelt songwriting and ethereal vocals. Her breakout song, "Too Far Gone," has earned nearly 2,000,000 Spotify streams, marking a major milestone in her rising career.

Raised in Chapin, South Carolina, Smalley's musical journey began at age six when her  father put a guitar in her hands. Inspired by a comprehensive soundtrack featuring such  influential artists as Jack Johnson, Norah Jones, Hootie & The Blowfish, The Chicks, and Taylor Swift, she developed a distinctive style that blends honest storytelling with  warm, melodious Americana and country influences.

While earning degrees from the University of South Carolina and a Charleston-area  technical college, Smalley followed generations of her family into healthcare, building a career as an operating room nurse. Even as music remained a constant alongside her work, it wasn't until a life-changing heartbreak that she took the leap to Nashville to fully pursue the career she'd dreamed of since childhood.

Now based in Nashville, Smalley balances her role as a part-time operating room nurse at Vanderbilt University Medical Center with a rapidly growing music career, bringing authenticity, vulnerability, and lived experience to every song she writes
