"Three Cigarettes in the Ashtray..."

BIOGRAPHY

apitol Records Nashville already has one of the hottest artist rosters in the entire country music format, and it's about to start heating up even more with the addition of their newest star - Emily West.

When Emily takes the stage it's nothing short of fireworks. Her own appreciation for artists such as Patsy Cline and Bette Midler have led her to cultivate her talent as an entertainer - not just a singer. Emily was born to be on stage. The energy, the excitement, the audience response - it fans the flame that drives her to perform. With a little confidence, a lot of charisma, and more than just a flash of wit, West is captivating. "I'm a live singer...performing is very emotional," she states. "They're my songs...my personality set to music."
