Emily Turner is a singer, song writer, and multi-instrumentalist based out of Oregon. Described as enchantingly soothing and likened to Norah Jones and Erykah Badu, Emily’s effortless swagger and authenticity seeps through her live performances, romancing all who encounter.

Spanning across genres from Americana, folk, indie, jazz, reggae, hip hop, electronica and funk, her broad experience infuses a wide array of feels into her compositions. Her instrument of choice is upright bass, which she uses primarily in her band Free Creatures, but she also performs solo using just her voice and both Baritone and Tenor ukulele.

Emily’s debut solo studio album titled “Here” was released in May 2021, and made a greatly successful splash with listeners, stirring emotional reviews. The album contains 8 original songs written by Emily and tastefully produced, mixed, and mastered by phenom and former bandmate Jared Masters. Her main performance project currently is with her three-piece fusion band Free Creatures, though she has performed in several other Oregonian projects such as Verbs & Nouns, Mad Woodsy, The Alphadelics, and Turner Moore Band. She also continually fosters other special collaborations across the Pacific Northwest, and internationally.

Emily was raised in Anchorage Alaska, and though she played cornet in band while in middle school, she did not pick up the ukulele or upright bass until later in life as a hobby while attending university for Environmental Studies. She earned her bachelors degree and attempted working as a farmer and environmentalist until realizing that her true passion and ability lie in music, which she now pursues full-time. She is self taught in all regards- bass, ukulele, singing, looping, and song writing, though she continually pushes herself to new heights through studying theory and developing her skills for performances.
