Em in the Waking is a cryptid sea creature in the body of a queer alt folk songwriter.
A London based singer-songwriter who makes music for people who accidentally made a deal with a sea god and were given otherworldly powers, Em writes story-driven songs that intersperse the mundane with the magical and invite you to imagine yourself as the hero of your own tale. With evocative lyrics, emotional vocals and acoustic guitar as the foundation of their sound, their songs explore themes of mental health, queerness, identity and purpose.
