SINGER * SONGWRITER * MUSICIAN

Born and raised in Greenville, SC, Emma Brooke Alley has been making waves in the music industry since the age of six. This multi-talented powerhouse is a singer, songwriter, producer, musician, model, band leader and growing businesswoman. Although Emma is classically trained from Converse University, her voice has reached both classical and modern stages. From performing her gorgeous operatic role of Cinderella in Converse Opera Theatre’s production of “Cendrillon: A Cinderella Opera” -to turning chairs and dropping jaws on NBC’s “The Voice”, winning over both John Legend and Gwen Stefani… there’s nothing Emma can’t do.

Emma is currently working towards finishing her degree at Converse University. She is also hard at work writing music, performing and booking shows with her Indie/Alternative band “Private Violet.”
