BIO:

With over 60,000 collective streams on her first two singles and listeners across 103 countries Emily Mac is making her mark in the rock world. Exploring an edgier and gritty sound with her 2nd single “Kills Me To Love You”, a darker track in which the Toronto singer-songwriter intimately explores themes of heartbreak and the aftermath of a toxic relationship.

Co-written and produced by gold certified producer Dajaun Martineau (Moist, Big Sugar), “Kills Me To Love You” was recorded at Martineau’s home studio and Toronto’s acclaimed Noble Street Studios. In addition to Emily’s powerful vocals, the song erupts into a climatic guitar solo from Ben Healey giving the listener flashes of ‘80s metal; ultimately complimenting Emily’s empowering delivery and sultry energy. Lyrically, “Kills Me To Love You” is the moment of epiphany within a relationship that leaves you feeling lifeless. Emily weaves a narrative that questions the value of love if it takes everything from you.

Before Emily could legally order a drink, she was singing in cover bands in bars, honing her craft in real time in front of an audience. Over the course of her career, Emily has performed at numerous festivals such as Canadian Music Week, Indie Week, TD Toronto Jazz Festival, Beaches International Jazz Festival and Niagara Wine Festival. Additional live highlights include performances at Toronto’s Opera House, The El Mocambo and the Horseshoe Tavern. She made her international debut with performances at New York City’s The Bitter End and The Rockwood Music Hall. Additionally, Emily has become an asset of empowerment to the Toronto music community through her support to other female rock artists with her Queens Of Rock ’n’ Roll showcase series which has brought like-minded indie artists together, both online and in person. In addition to the success she has gained on streaming platforms, the Emily’s music is especially popular in Brazil, America, Canada, Spain, and Mexico. Not only has her music been featured in multiple media outlets, but it earned Emily comparisons to some of her greatest heroes, including Stevie Nicks, Janis Joplin, and Ann Wilson.

“Kills Me To Love You” is the ultimate female rage song with the smashing drums, driving electric guitar riffs, and Emily Mac’s gnarlingly good voice and thick timbre. If that wasn’t laudable enough, she decided to get her music produced in the most high-profile cinematic way possible. We wonder if she’s a perfectionist—everything’s spot on! - Naomi Joan for Illustrate Magazine
