Emily Clibourn
About Me
I began my career in the performing arts, acting and singing at the age of seven in Chicagoland at theaters like The American Girl Place Theater and The Aurora University Theater Company.
After acquiring a supporting role in the feature film Children on Their Birthdays directed by Mark Medoff, I began on-camera work and eventually moved to Los Angeles, where I began songwriting, recording and performing at venues like Hotel Cafe.
Blow (2015) was my debut studio album in collaboration with Emmy-winning composers Brett Cookingham and Matt Pavolaitis. Blow was funded by a Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign and promoted in a 6-week national tour in the summer of 2016.
Shortly after, I released As The Wind Blows, a five part documentary of my tour, and self-published a book of poetry called 33 Poems and began writing non-fiction and screenplays and directing as a method to address the negative effects of technology as well as the meaning crisis.
Contact
I am based out of Nashville, Tennessee. Please get in touch if you are interested in collaborating on a film, documentary or music video project. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Clibourn was featured in Music Connection’s Hot 100 Live Unsigned Artists and Bands, where they praised her for her “clairvoyant song craft and vivid artistry.”
"'I’ve been sanctified'. So sings Emily Clibourn in her new song, and I feel sanctified. If a voice can save, Clibourn is the one to listen...Thank you, Emily. Clibourn has one of those voices that actually takes you heavenward. Her voice is similar to Jewel at her best. Her new LP is set to be released this summer." -AUDIOFUZZ
"With Florence and the Machine and Lana Del Rey providing contemporary reference points; Clibourn is perhaps better compared to jazz and soul musicians of old, drawing from a classic but still beguiling creative treasure trove. There's doubtlessly a timeless quality to her vocal, which licks and curls like a cat around her piano-based style of sound. Excellent production seals the deal, and makes this lady one to watch in the not too distant future." -DRUNKEN WEREWOLF
"Fans of Florence, Duffy, Lorde and Lana Dey Rey should get ready for Emily Clibourn. She is what Lana is trying to be...except she doesn't have to try. She just oozes cool and this girl is talented as hell! I think, if promoted correctly, she could be bigger and outlast a lot of those ladies as well. See why for yourself." -SOLCOFN
