At the tender age of 19,
Emily Muli is taking on music in an altruistic and studious way. The young singer/songwriter has been up on
stage singing and reciting church hymns since the age of three, and she plans
to continue this miniature legacy that she has created. Emily resides in New Zealand, and is studying
Commerce and Music, all the while trying to spread a positive and uplifting
message through her music.
A passion for putting pen to paper is what made Emily
truly confirm that music was the path down which she wanted to travel. “Growing
up I was always busy with dance and school, but music and songwriting was
always the one thing I would turn to when I had time,” says Emily. Today, she combines that love with her studies
which she says is something she is grateful for “I am lucky that my music
classes require me to write songs - this has been so rewarding and I am finding
myself writing songs I wouldn't have written if I just studied commerce.”
Another passion of Emily’s is the standing up for social
injustices, not just within her country, but around the world! She currently
holds the position of “World Vision New Zealand 2015 World Faith Ambassador”, a
program that allows young leaders to travel to other parts of the world and
stand up for social injustices. “Being
grounded in my faith also helped me to realize that giving and helping is a lot
more rewarding than keeping everything I have to myself, ESPECIALLY love. With
music, I love to write about things that I experience or things that stir deep
within the soul, so I know that my music will definitely portray my passions
and also what I want to change,” she shares.
Emily identifies herself as a neo-soul artist, but admits
that this is not the only place she sees herself—this title comes from soul, reggae
and R&B influences that surrounded her while growing up, “I think they’re all
infused in my music.” In the near
future, Emily will be releasing more music and says that while school may keep
her busy, there is nothing that can keep her away from doing what she
loves.
