According to Emily Reid, her music can be described in three simple words: “bold, energetic, and indie-fun-cool. And that’s like a hyphen word.” Inspired by the stylings of the Dixie Chicks, Faith Hill, Martina McBride, and Sara Evans, to name a few, the 27-year-old multi-instrumentalist country singer has come a long way from her humble beginnings in Victoria, B.C. Since her move to Nashville, then Toronto, then Nashville again, Reid has proven that she is keen, determined, and, perhaps most importantly, ready.
“I’ve been writing songs ever since I could remember; like 8 or 9 [years old],” excitedly says Reid of her lifelong passion. “As a little girl, I wasn’t very good at processing my emotions, but they always tend to come out in song… it’s sort of my therapy.” ~ Emily Reid
