"Emily Zuzik's voice ranges from a sweet and alluring croon to a low growl that would charm even the most world-weary." --Time Out New York
Granddaughter of a trucker and a coal miner, Emily Zuzik hails from the Southwestern Pennsylvania town of Greensburg. She gave her first public performance singing Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" to her fifth grade religion class in Catholic school. By eighth grade, she was performing original work in front of her school. And the rest, as we say, is history...
Releasing her second album, You Had Me At Goodbye, in September 2006, Emily received rave reviews in the Village Voice and San Francisco Chronicle. Her cd release parties in both NYC and San Francisco were featured picks of the week.
Additionally, Emily is a proud Epiphone Guitars endorsed artist and appears in its internationally distributed 2005 calendar along side such other great women artists as Joan Osborn and Gretchen Wilson.
Emily released her debut solo album, The Way it's Got to Be, in February 2003, receiving praises from NYC's The Village Voice and Time Out, as well as Performing Songwriter Magazine's Top DIY Picks, November 2003.
Emily is also a finalist in the JANE Magazine Readers 2004 CD, and appears on the “Greatest Hits you’ve never Heard,” a UK compilation which raises funds for breast cancer research. Her cover of Daniel Johnston’s “Love Wheel” appears on the Second Shimmy release “I Killed the Monster.” Emily has also been featured as an IGNforMen.com's Babe of the Day.
The video for Emily’s song “Try a New Line on Me” (from her band, Sexfresh’s “The Fainting Room”) aired nationally on the Trio network in April 2003.
She has shared the shows with such performers as Norah Jones, The Silos, Jolie Holland and 80s teen pop icon Tiffany.
In the past year, Emily has toured the UK in fall 2006 and April 2007. She returns to the road this August with Benji Rogers of Marwood, her cowrite collaborator, for a 20-day tour.
You can also see Emily, nationally, as the Bond girl on the cover of the Penguin Paperback Reissue of James Bond’s Thunderball.
