New Artist Spotlight — Emily Faith

Emily Faith is a fresh new voice on the CCM/Christian music scene. While her sound has accents of pop, blues and rock & roll, it is unquestionably rooted in the faith. Emily is a prolific composer & has been writing songs since she was 8 years old. Emily has been involved in collaborative projects, working with esteemed songwriters such as Zac Maloy and Clint Lagerberg, who have written songs for Carrie Underwood & Keith Urban.

Although relatively young, Emily has already built an impressive resume that includes a 50-city road trip with the Newsboys as part of their God’s Not Dead Rivals Tour. Opening with for King & Country was another notable highlight in this young artist’s career. In 2017 Emily launched her “Write Your Own Story” campaign, a heartfelt effort to encourage people to pursue their passions, become their authentic selves & to support others in doing the same.

Emily is committed to sharing this message wherever she can and frequently goes into schools to talk with younger kids. Her song “Write Your Own Story,” was commissioned by the American Heart Association for Go Red, a movement to raise awareness about heart health for women. Emily divides her time between her home in Kingfisher and Nashville, where she has a supportive professional network and is engaged in a variety of projects. Emily describes herself as a “naturally happy and positive person” and this is evident in her music. Her songs reflect struggles, and disappointments but always bringing the listener back to a place of hope & enduring optimism.

Her new single, “Break Through,” releases this Friday.

STORY BEHIND THE SONG — “Break Through”
“Break Through” is about the moment when you let God in & decide to trust Him completely. Often times, we find ourselves fighting God’s plans because we have our own ideas of what our lives should look like, but in time, you learn His plans for you are always better. This song lets listeners in on the journey I’ve been on the past few years, & I hope they’ll feel a connection to the story, too.
